Cotton is one of the major world oil crops. Cottonseed meets increasing demand fried food, ruminant feed, and renewable bio-fuels. MADS intervening keratin-like C-terminal (MIKC)-type MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that have crucial roles in various plant developmental processes. Nevertheless, this gene family has not been characterized, nor its functions investigated, cotton. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis MIKC-type tetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L., which most...
Auxin-induced genes regulate many aspects of plant growth and development. The Gretchen Hagen 3 (GH3) gene family, one three major early auxin-responsive families, is ubiquitous in the kingdom its members function as regulators modulating hormonal homeostasis, stress adaptations. Specific Auxin-amido synthetase activity GH3 subfamily II reported to reversibly inactivate or fully degrade excess auxin through formation amino acid conjugates. Despite these crucial roles, date, genome-wide...
Proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinases (PERKs) are an important class of in plants. Receptor comprise large gene families many plant species, including the 15 PERK genes Arabidopsis. At present, there is no comprehensive published study G. hirsutum. Our identified 33 Phylogenetic analysis conserved protein sequences from species grouped them into four well defined clades. The GhPERK family evolutionarily advanced that lost its introns over time. Several cis-elements were promoter...
RING-H2 finger E3 ligase (RH2FE3) genes encode cysteine-rich proteins that mediate ubiquitin activity and degrade target substrates. The roles of these in plant responses to phytohormones abiotic stresses are well documented various species, but their cotton fiber development poorly understood. To date, genome-wide identification expression analyses Gossypium hirsutum RH2FE3 have not been reported. We performed computational identification, structural phylogenetic analyses, chromosomal...
AAI genes form an evolutionarily conserved large family showing the effects of genome duplication and lacking systematic study. GhAAI66 integrates multiple flower signaling pathways to induce early flowering.
The glycogen synthase kinase 3/shaggy (GSK3) is a serine/threonine with important roles in animals. Although GSK3 genes have been studied for more than 30 years, plant GSK only since the last decade. Previous research has confirmed that are involved diverse processes, including floral development, brassinosteroid signaling, and responses to abiotic stresses. In this study, 20, 15 (including 5 different transcripts) 10 were identified G. hirsutum, raimondii arboreum, respectively. A total of...
Cyclophilins (CYPs) are a member of the immunophilin superfamily (in addition to FKBPs and parvulins) play significant role in peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity. Previous studies have shown that CYPs important functions plants, but no genome-wide analysis cotton CYP gene family has been reported, specific biological function this is still elusive. Based on release genome sequence, we identified 75, 78, 40 38 sequences from G. barbadense, hirsutum, arboreum, raimondii,...
Abstract Background GGPP (geranylgeranyl diphosphate) is produced in the isoprenoid pathway and mediates function of various plant metabolites, which synthesized by GGPPS (GGPP synthases) plants. characterization has not been performed any species except Arabidopsis thaliana . Here, we a complete computational bioinformatics analysis detected their transcription expression pattern Gossypium hirsutum for first time so that to explore evolutionary relationship potential functions. Finally,...
Pectin is a major polysaccharide component that promotes plant growth and fiber elongation in cotton. In previous studies, the galacturonosyltransferase-like (GATL) gene family has been shown to be involved pectin synthesis. However, few studies have performed on cotton GATL genes. Here, total of 33, 17, 16 genes were respectively identified Gossypium hirsutum, raimondii, arboreum. multiple species, phylogenetic analysis divided into five groups named GATL-a GATL-e, number was found...
Tetraploid cotton contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, the At- and Dt-subgenomes. Consequently, many markers in were mapped to multiple positions during linkage genetic map construction, posing a challenge anchoring groups mapping economically-important genes particular chromosomes. Chromosome-specific could solve this problem. Recently, genomes diploid species sequenced whose progenitors putative contributors Dt-subgenomes tetraploid cotton. These sequences provide powerful tool for...
RB-GRP (RNA-binding Glycine-rich protein gene) family belongs to the fourth subfamily of GRP (Glycine-rich superfamily, which plays a great role in plant growth and development, as well abiotic stresses response, while it has not been identified cotton. Here, we 37 32 RB-GRPs from two cotton species (Gossypium arboreum Gossypium raimondii, respectively), were divided into four distinct subfamilies based on presence additional motifs arrangement glycine repeats. The distribution was nonrandom...
Abstract Background: GGPP (geranyl geranyl diphosphate) is produced in the isoprenoid pathway and mediates function of various plant metabolites, which synthesized by GGPPS (GGPP synthases) plants. characterization has not been performed any species except Arabidiosis thaliana . Here, we a complete computational bioinformatics analysis detected their transcription expression pattern Gossypium hirsutum for first time order to explore evolutionary relationship potential functions. We unravel...
