Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of Orphan Genes Within Coriander.

ABSTRACT: Orphan genes (OGs) are genes that have no significant sequence similarity with known genes from other species or lineages. Identifying and characterizing OGs have become more feasible with the increasing availability of plant transcriptomes and genome sequences. OGs play important roles in response to both biotic and abiotic stresses, contributing to biological functions and lineage-specific traits. This study aimed to identify and characterize OGs in Coriandrum sativum (coriander) using the BLAST method. A total of 941 C. sativum OGs (CsOGs), 1298 Apiaceae-specific genes (ASGs), and 38,508 evolutionarily conserved genes (ECGs) were identified through comparative genomics. Genic feature analyses revealed that CsOGs and <
