Genome-wide exploration of the GDSL-type esterase/lipase gene family in rapeseed reveals several BnGELP proteins active during early seedling development.

ABSTRACT: The Gly-Asp-Ser-Leu (GDSL)-type esterase/lipase proteins (GELP) are one of the most important families of lipolytic enzymes and play prominent roles in seed germination and early seedling establishment through mobilizing the lipids stored in seeds. However, there are no comprehensive studies systematically investigating the GELP gene family in Brassica napus (BnGELP), and their biological significance to these physiological processes are far from understood. In the present study, a total of 240 BnGELP genes were identified in B. napus cultivar "Zhongshuang 11" (ZS11), which is nearly 2.3-fold more GELP genes than in Arabidopsis thaliana. The BnGELP genes clustered into 5 clades based on phylogenetic analysis. Ten BnGELPs were identifi
