Comprehensive identification, characterization, and expression analysis of the MORF gene family in Brassica napus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

RNA editing in chloroplast and mitochondrion transcripts of plants is an important type of post-transcriptional RNA modification in which members of the multiple organellar RNA editing factor gene family (MORF) play a crucial role. However, a systematic identification and characterization of MORF members in Brassica napus is still lacking.

Results

In this study, a total of 43 MORF genes were identified from the genome of the Brassica napus cultivar "Zhongshuang 11". The Brassica napus MORF (BnMORF) family members were divided into three groups through phylogenetic analysis. BnMORF genes distributed on 14 chromosomes and expanded due to segmental duplication and whole genome duplication repetitions. The majority of BnMORF proteins were predicted to be localized to
