Identification and characterization of the class III peroxidase gene family in sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. sinensis Rousi) and its potential role in lignin biosynthesis

In this study, the findings not only provide us with a comprehensive identification and analysis of HrPODs from a bioinformatics perspective, but also preliminary intimation that the POD family may be tightly associated with fruit texture quality and abiotic stress response. These results will help us better investigate the role of HrPODs in lingin biosynthesis, enrich the theoretical research on the formation of sea buckthorn texture quality and understand the roles of HrPODs in abiotic stress resistance in cultivated sea buckthorn.
