Genome-wide identification and functional analysis of the longan CONSTANS (CO) family.

ABSTRACT: Longans are among the most economically important subtropical fruits. Its flowering is sensitive to the photoperiod, and flowering time has a significant influence on yield and quality. CONSTANS-like (COL) gene plays a key role in regulating induced flowering in longans. However, the specific role of the COL gene family in the regulation of flowering remains unknown. In this study, 10 DlCOL genes were identified in longans using comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and named based on their physical chromosomal locations. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that DlCOL genes were divided into three subfamilies, each with a conserved domain. When combined with collinearity analysis, we found DlCOL genes were more closely related to COL genes of dicotyledons. DlCOL family genes are differential
