Genome-wide identification and expression pattern analysis of the CPP transcription factor family in Medicago sativa L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Cysteine-rich Polycomb-like Protein (CPP) gene family is a small transcription factor family commonly found in animals and plants. It plays a crucial regulatory role in their reproductive development. To date, this gene family has been characterized in various species, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Medicago truncatula, Oryza sativa, and Glycine max. However, no research has been done on the CPP gene family in Medicago sativa L.

Results

This study used bioinformatics to identify 31 CPP gene family members in Medicago sativa L., spread across 20 of its 32 chromosomes and named MsCPP1-MsCPP31 in chromosomal order. Phylogenetic analysis classified the 31 MsCPP proteins into five subgroups (Group I-V), each with similar conserved motifs and gene structures. Promote
