Genome-Wide Identification of the BTB Domain-Containing Protein Gene Family in Pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.).

ABSTRACT: Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), recognized as a globally preeminent vegetable, holds substantial economic and nutritional value. The BTB (broad-complex, tramtrack, and bric-a-brac) family of proteins, characterized by a highly conserved BTB domain, also denoted as the POZ domain, are intricately involved in a diverse array of biological processes. However, the existing corpus of research regarding pepper BTB genes remains relatively meager. In this study, a total of 72 CaBTB gene members were meticulously identified from the entire genome of pepper. Phylogenetic analysis illuminated the presence of conspicuous collinear relationships between the CaBTB genes and those of its closely affiliated species. Gene expression profiling and RT-qPCR analysis revealed that mul
