Genome-Wide Identification, Expression and Evolution Analysis of m6A Writers, Readers and Erasers in Aegilops_tauschii.

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine modifications (m6A) is one of the most abundant and prevalent post-transcriptional RNA modifications in plants, playing the crucial role in plant growth and development and stress adaptation. However, the m6A regulatory machinery in Aegilops_tauschii, the D genome progenitor of common wheat, is not well understood at present. Here, we systematically identified the m6A-related genes in Aegilops with a genome-wide search approach. In total, 25 putative m6A genes composed of 5 writers, 13 readers and 7 erasers were obtained. A phylogenetic analysis clearly grouped them into three subfamilies with the same subfamily showing similar gene structures and conserved domains. These m6A genes were found to contain a large number of cis-acting elements associating with
