Genome-wide identification, transcript profiling and functional analyses of PCP gene family in Wucai (Brassica campestris).

ABSTRACT: Pollen coat proteins (PCPs) are cysteine-rich small-molecule proteins, which exhibit high levels of polymorphism and are expressed in gametocytes. Previous investigations have revealed that PCP genes are involved in pollen wall synthesis, pollen-stigma recognition, and pollen development and germination. However, gene expression and function of PCP family in pollen development is not well understood in Wucai (Brassica campestris L.). In this study, genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the BcPCP gene family members were conducted, including their physical and chemical properties, chromosome localization, phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, and tertiary structure. A total of 20 BcPCP genes were identified and classified into three subfamilies showing high homology to
