Genome-wide identification of VOZ gene family in ten cotton species and the function analysis of GhVOZ2 involved in heat stress response.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vascular plant one zinc-finger protein (VOZ) is a type of special transcription factor and plays important roles in regulating various biological processes in plants. However, a genome-wide analysis of VOZ gene family in cotton is still not clear, which greatly limits the further understanding of VOZ gene function and regulatory mechanism.

Results

We identified 44 VOZ family genes in ten cotton species including 3 in Gossypium herbaceum, G. arboretum, G. thurberi, and G. Raimondii, 6 in G. hirsutum, G. barbadense, G. tomentosum, and G. mustelinum, and 5 in G. darwinii. The phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that VOZ gene family was subdivided into four subgroups. Chromosome location and collinearity analysis revealed that this gene family had experienced segment
