Plants need optimal environmental conditions to grow and develop, so they are also the group most affected by abiotic stresses, such as heat, cold, salinity, drought and floods. Among them, Met-rich protein (MRP) has been known as one of the major macromolecules that are dramatically affected by abiotic stresses. In this study, 52 genes encoding unc-haracterized MRPs in cassava (Manihot esculenta) cultivar ‘KU50’ exhibited different expression patterns in various RNA-Seq datasets, like saline stress, drought, nutrient deficiency, and polyethylene glycol 6000 treatment. The results identified a total of 28 genes encoding MRP of unknown function but responsive expression under at least one stress condition (|fold-change| ≥ 2). Interestingly, Manes.18G048000 was noted as an abiotic-stresses- responsive gene, while Manes.10G129200 and Manes.S070600 were strongly induced (by 41.3-fold) and reduced (by -82.3-fold) in leaf tissues under drought conditions. The analysis revealed that various hormone-related cis- regulatory elements, like abscisic acid-, jasmonic acid- and ethylene-responsive elements, were highly accumulated in the promoter regions of 28 stress-responsive genes. The 3D modeling showed that MRPs are mostly constructed by the α- helix and the β- pleated sheet. Taken together, our study could provide a comprehensive foundation for further functional c-haracterization of stress-responsive genes.
