Genome-wide identification and analysis of phosphate utilization related genes (PURs) reveal their roles involved in low phosphate responses in Brassica napus L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for Brassica napus L. growth and development, and is mainly acquired from the soil as phosphate (Pi). However, there is no research on the system analysis of Pi utilization related genes (PURs) in B. napus yet.

Results

In this study, 285 PURs were identified in B. napus genome, including 4 transcription factor (TF) gene families (83 genes) and 17 structural gene families (202 genes). Subcellular localization analysis showed that the proteins encoded by B. napus PURs were mainly located in the nucleus (~ 46.0%) and cell membrane (~ 36.5%). Chromosome localization analysis suggested that B. napus PURs were distributed on An (131) and Cn (149) subgenomes without bias. Analysis of 35 representative species confirmed that PU
