Genome-wide evolution and function analysis of ALOG gene family in cotton.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ALOG (Arabidopsis thaliana LSH1 and Oryza sativa G1) gene family is a class of transcription factors present in various plants. To elucidate the roles of ALOG genes in cotton, we systematically investigated the ALOG gene family across four cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium barbadense, Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium raimondii).

Results

In this study, a total of 43, 42, 23 and 27 ALOG genes were identified from G. hirsutum, G. barbadense, G. arboretum and G. raimondii, respectively. The results indicated that cotton ALOG gene duplications originated before the speciation of Gossypium species, whole genome duplication, segmental duplication and transposable elements all pla
