Abstract
Increasing the salinity tolerance of crop plants will provide an important
contribution to the maintenance of crop yields. The HKT family of ion transporters
originally was named for the high-affinity potassium transporter properties of the first
member of this family that was isolated, but it is more complex than originally realized, as
the affinity and selectivity of many proteins encoded by members of this gene family are
different to that indicated by the name. Different molecular marker types have been used to
assess genetic diversity in plant such as amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP).
Bioinformatics has become an essential tool not only for basic research but also for applied
research in biotechnology and biomedical sciences. In this study we use an in silico
analysis of the complete cDNA sequences HKT gene at eight genus the gramineae family
to phylogeny within AFLP profiles that product by restriction enzymes. By online software
webcutter selective the best of restriction enzymes to cutting the sequences and length of
product in software excel saved, and then based of data 0 and 1 matrix with DARwin
software draw the dissimilarity matrix (Dice and Jacard) and with MEGA3.1 software draw
the phylogentic tree. Result showed that plants classification in four group, group 1 consist
of 4 plants (Secale cereale,Triticum monococum, Triticum turgidum and Aegilops tauschii),
