Comprehensive Review on Plant Cytochrome P450 Evolution: Copy Number, Diversity, and Motif Analysis From Chlorophyta to Dicotyledoneae.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) are widely distributed among various plant groups and constitute approximately 1% of the total number of protein-coding genes. Extensive studies suggest that CYPs are involved in nearly all molecular processes that occur in plants. Over the past two decades, the identification of CYP genes has expanded rapidly, with more than 40,000 CYP genes and 819 CYP families being discovered. Copy number variation is a significant evolutionary characteristic of gene families, yet a systematic characterization of the copy evolution patterns in plant CYP gene families has been lacking, resulting in confusion and challenges in understanding CYP functions. To address these concerns, this review provides comprehensive statistics and analyses of the copy number and diversity o
