Splicing and expression dynamics of SR genes in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum): regulatory diversity and conservation under stress by Lin Li, Yueqin Zhang, Rui Zhang, Rui Zhang, Xiangtao Cen, Yongxiang Huang, Yongxiang Huang, Hanqiao Hu, Hanqiao Hu, Xingyu Jiang, Xingyu Jiang, Yu Ling, Yu Ling

“…Notably, transcription levels of several proteins, including CaSR33, CaSR34, and CaSR34a, were upregulated by salt, drought, and cold stresses, suggesting potential roles of these proteins in stress tolerance. We also observed an increase of CaSR transcript population resulting from alternative splicing (AS) regulation, mainly intron retention. …”
