In conclusion the nsLTP type G family seems highly interesting of studying to better understand the early land plant evolution. Of the ten genes, six were upregulated during either cold, dehydration or UV-B stress. During NaCl, copper and osmotic stress downregulation was seen for most of the genes, suggesting their involvement in metabolic pathway that gets halted during these stressful conditions. Future studies should aim to knockdown the upregulated genes and then compare the phenotype to the wild-type during the mentioned stresses.
