Genome-wide dissection of AT-hook motif nuclear-localized gene family and their expression profiling for drought and salt stress in rice (Oryza sativa).

ABSTRACT: AT-hook motif nuclear localized (AHL) genes are functionally very less explored, but their nature is very diverse. In the present study, we identified 20 AHL genes in rice. Phylogenetic analyses and evolutionary classification of AHL genes showed that they are conserved in plants, but the number of genes is still expanding in different crops and regulating new biological functions. Gene structure analysis showed that OsAHLs are with and without intron types of genes, suggesting that AHL genes added intron during evolution for neofunctionalization. The cis analysis of OsAHL genes suggested its motif diversity. In order to understand the function, 19 transcriptomes were identified from various tissues and different developmental stages of rice
