*4.5. Main Cis-Acting Elements Analysis*

We extracted 2 kb upstream sequence of the RsAP2 gene sequences from the genome sequencing data and submitted it to PlantCARE (http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/ webtools/plantcare/html/, accessed on 30 June 2022) [51]. Cis-acting elements involved in different kinds of plant growth regulators, response to abiotic stresses, anaerobic induction, meristem expression and flavonoid biosynthetic were identified.
