Genome-wide characterization of the Rab gene family in Gossypium by comparative analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rab protein family is the largest subfamily of small G protein family. As one of the most important families in plant, Rab family plays an important role in the process of plant growth and development. So far, the identification of 57 members of the Rab family in Arabidopsis has been completed. In cotton, the relevant family has not been reported.

Results

Here, we identified 87, 169, 136, 80 Rabs in the four sequenced cotton species, G. raimondii (D₅), G. hirsutum acc. TM-1 (AD₁), G. barbadense acc. 3-79 (AD₂) and G. arboreum (A₂), respectively. Biological information analysis showed that the number of amino acid is 200-300 aa among Rab family members in G. raimondii and the protein molecular weight is between 20 and 30
