Functional divergence of PP2Cs encoding genes in Brassica oleracea and Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: We investigated the expression profiles and genomic organization of PP2Cs-encoding genes in Brassica oleracea. Analysis of cDNA macroarray transcription profiles for Brassica oleracea and Arabidopsis thaliana revealed significant differences in the expression of a gene encoding protein phosphatase 2C, ABI1, a member of the group A PP2C. To gain insight into the ABA signaling network conservation in a model plant and its crop relatives group A PP2C genes in B. oleracea have been identified and functionally characterized. Twenty homologous sequences were identified as putative members of the group A PP2Cs (BolC.PP2Cs). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the B. oleracea homologues are closely related to the particular members of the A. thaliana PP2C family. The genetic analysis has corrobora
