Genome-Wide In Silico Analysis of 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACO) Gene Family in Rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: The plant hormone ethylene elicits crucial regulatory effects on plant growth, development, and stress resistance. As the enzyme that catalyzes the final step of ethylene biosynthesis, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACO) plays a key role in precisely controlling ethylene production. However, the functional characterization of the ACO gene family in rice remains largely unexplored. In this study, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of seven OsACO genes (OsACO1-OsACO7), which were classified into three subfamilies (Types I, II, and III). The members within the same clades exhibited similar tertiary structures and conserved protein motifs. We conducted inter/intraspecies covariance assays of OsACOs to elucidate their evolutionary and duplication ev
