Genome-Wide Identification and Expression of the Paulownia fortunei MADS-Box Gene Family in Response to Phytoplasma Infection.

ABSTRACT: Paulownia witches' broom (PaWB), caused by phytoplasmas, is the most devastating infectious disease of Paulownia. Although a few MADS-box transcription factors have been reported to be involved in the formation of PaWB, there has been little investigation into all of the MADS-box gene family in Paulownia. The objective of this study is to identify the MADS-box gene family in Paulownia fortunei on a genome-wide scale and explore their response to PaWB infection. Bioinformatics software were used for identification, characterization, subcellular localization, phylogenetic analysis, the prediction of conserved motifs, gene structures, cis-elements, and protein-protein interaction network construction. The tissue expression profiling of PfMADS-box genes was analyzed by quantitative real
