Cloning and characterization of auxin efflux carrier genes EcPIN1a and EcPIN1b from finger millet Eleusine coracana L.

ABSTRACT: Auxin signaling events in plants play important role in developmental regulation as well as gravitropic responses and plays crucial role in the development of root, lateral root and root hairs. The gene that is known to be most important in the development of root, lateral root and root hairs is commonly known as auxin efflux carrier (PIN). Being commonly known as orphan plant, the genome sequence of Eleusine coracana is not known yet, and hence it was very difficult to conduct advanced research in root development in this plant. As PIN gene plays crucial role in root development, to have some advanced study we proposed to clone the PIN genes from E. coracana. We cloned two PIN genes in E. coracana and named them as EcPIN1a and EcPIN1b. The coding sequence (CDS) of EcPIN1a was 1779 bp and
