Role of <i>TIR1/AFB</i> family genes during grafting in <i>Carya cathayensis</i>.

ABSTRACT: Auxins play significant roles in plant growth and development. The transporter inhibitor response1/auxin signaling F-box (TIR1/AFB) gene family encodes the auxin receptor proteins and plays an essential role in the auxin signaling pathway. Here we identified and characterized the TIR1/AFB family in Carya cathayensis (Cc) plants (named as CcTIR1/AFB). Seven CcTIR1/AFBs were identified and further confirmed by cloning. All proteins encoded by these genes conservatively contained two domains, the F-box and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. The CcTIR1/AFBs were located in the nucleus. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that CcTIR1/AFBs were evenly scattered in four different subgroups. The cis-acting element analysis indicates that CcTIR1/AFBs mig
