Comprehensive identification, characterization and expression analyses of the class III POD gene family in water lily (Nymphaea colorata).

ABSTRACT: Class III peroxidases are plant-specific glycoproteins and widely distributed among plant species, that play a crucial role in plant resistance to different stresses, such as salt, heat, cold and metal toxicity. The present study is the first comprehensive and systematic report to characterize the NcPOD gene family in water lily (Nymphaea colorata). In this study, 94 NcPOD genes in water lily were identified, each possessing a conserved POD domain, which are dispersed unevenly across the genome. Through comparative maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis, these genes were categorized into 10 groups, along with two other species, Arabidopsis thaliana and Nymphaea thermarum. Notably, the largest group, group-c, comprised 32 distinct types of NcPOD p
