Genome-Wide Identification and Molecular Evolutionary History of the Whirly Family Genes in Brassica napus.

ABSTRACT: Whirly transcription factors are unique to plants, playing pivotal roles in managing leaf senescence and DNA repair. While present in various species, their identification in Brassica napus L. (B. napus) and their differences during hybridization and polyploidy has been elusive. Addressing this, our study delves into the functional and evolutionary aspects of the Whirly gene family during the emergence of B. napus, applying bioinformatics and comparative genomics. We identified six Whirly genes in B. napus. In Brassica rapa L. (B. rapa), three Whirly genes were identified, while four were found in Brassica oleracea L. (B. oleracea). The results show that the identified Whirly genes not only have homo
