Major components of RNAi gene families in Oryza sativa cultivar Kitaake: In-silico discovery and characterization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Oryza sativa cultivar Kitaake is a promising new model rice for research due to its short life cycle (9 weeks), adaptability to greenhouse conditions, readily accepts foreign genes, and its complete genome sequence is accessible, providing a valuable blueprint for researchers. However, its major RNA interference (RNAi) gene families (DCLs, AGOs, RDRs) have not yet been studied. These gene families influence target-specific protein-coding gene expression and biotic and abiotic stresses, regulating plant growth and development.

Objectives

This study aims to identify and characterize RNAi gene families from the Kitaake rice.

Methods

This study has been designed by in-silico analysis to explore major RNAi genes highlighting their
