Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the BURP domain-containing genes in Malus domestica.

ABSTRACT: The conserved BURP-containing proteins are specific to plants and play a crucial role in plant growth, development, and response to abiotic stresses. However, less is known about the systematic characterization of BURP-containing proteins in apple. This study aimed to identify and analyze all BURP-containing genes in the apple genome, as well as to examine their expression patterns through various bioinformatics methods. Eighteen members of BURP-containing genes were identified in apple, six members lacked signal peptides, and the secondary structure was mainly a Random coil of BURP-containing genes. Gene structure and Motif analysis showed that proteins have similar structures and are conserved at the C-terminal. Cis-acting element analysis revealed that the proteins contain phytohormone
