Genome-wide identification and characterization of <i>GRAS</i> gene family in pigeonpea (<i>Cajanus cajan</i> (L.) Millspaugh).

ABSTRACT: The GRAS proteins are plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) that play a crucial role in various plant physiological processes, including tissue development and stress responses. To date, GRAS family has been comprehensively characterized in Arabidopsis, soybean, rice, chickpea and other plant species. To understand the structural and functional aspects of pigeonpea (C. cajan), we identified 60 putative GRAS (CcGRAS) genes from pigeonpea genome and further analysed their physicochemical properties, subcellular locations, evolutionary classification, exon-intron structures, conserved domains, gene duplication events and cis-promoter regions. Based on the sequence similarity, CcGRAS family was clustered into 9 subfamilies and the genes with a similar st
