Genome wide identification and expression profiling of Bcl2 associated anthanogene family cochaperones reveals abiotic stress response in Ricinus communis L.

ABSTRACT: Castor (Ricinus communis L.), a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, is a non-edible oilseed crop extensively cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide for its diverse industrial uses. The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-associated athanogene (BAG) family is a diverse and well-conserved co-chaperone family present in both plants and mammals. BAG proteins interact with a wide range of proteins, regulating various functions, including stress response, growth, and development. However, the function of BAGs in oilseed crops like castor remains largely unknown. In this study, we discovered 9 BAG protein family members (RcBAGs) in castor through genome-wide scanning. We investigated chromosomal localization, performed in silico promoter analysis, conducted phylogenetic and synteny analyses, an
