Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the Hsp40/J-Protein Family Reveals Its Role in Soybean (Glycine max) Growth and Development.

ABSTRACT: The J-protein family comprises molecular chaperones involved in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Little is known about this gene family in soybean. Hence, we characterized J-protein genes in soybean, with the most highly expressed and responsive during flower and seed development. We also revealed their phylogeny, structure, motif analysis, chromosome location, and expression. Based on their evolutionary links, we divided the 111 potential soybean J-proteins into 12 main clades (I-XII). Gene-structure estimation revealed that each clade had an exon-intron structure resembling or comparable to others. Most soybean J-protein genes lacked introns in Clades I, III, and XII. Moreover, transcriptome data obtained from a publicly accessible soybean database and RT-qPCR were used t
