Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of RLCK-VII Subfamily Genes Reveal Their Roles in Stress Responses of Upland Cotton.

ABSTRACT: Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase VII (RLCK-VII) subfamily members are vital players in plant innate immunity and are also involved in plant development and abiotic stress tolerance. As a widely cultivated textile crop, upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) attaches great importance to the cotton industry worldwide. To obtain details of the composition, phylogeny, and putative function of RLCK-VII genes in upland cotton, genome-wide identification, evolutionary event analysis, and expression pattern examination of RLCK-VII subfamily genes in G. hirsutum were performed. There are 129 RLCK-VII members in upland cotton (GhRLCKs) and they were divided into nine groups based on their phylogenetic relationships. The gene structure and sequence features are relatively conserved w
