Genome-wide identification of the <i>COBRA-like</i> gene family and expression pattern analysis under abiotic stresses of <i>Sorghum bicolor</i> (L.).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

COBRA-Like (CBL) genes encode glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) -anchored proteins specific to plants that play important roles in cellulose biosynthesis in primary and secondary cell walls.

Methods

This study used a bioinformatics approach to characterize the CBL family genes in Sorghum bicolor (S. bicolor) at the genome-wide level to investigate their potential functions in S. bicolor development.

Results

The results revealed the identification of 10 CBL genes in the BTx623 and E048 S. bicolor genomes, respectively. A comparative analysis of conserved Motifs revealed that all CBL family genes in S. bicolor possess CCVS conserved structural domains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that
