Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism in both animals and plants,which has been shown to be involved in various essential developmental processes in plants.Nicotiana tabacum is considered to be an ideal model plant and has been widely used for the study of the roles of autophagy in the processes of plant development and in the response to various stresses.However,only a few autophagy-related genes have been identified in tobacco up to now.Here,we identified 30 autophagy-related genes belonging to 16 different groups in tobacco through a genome-wide survey.
