Characterization of OglDREB2A gene from African rice (Oryza glaberrima), comparative analysis and its transcriptional regulation under salinity stress.

ABSTRACT: In this study, AP2 DNA-binding domain-containing transcription factor, OglDREB2A, was cloned from the African rice (Oryza glaberrima) and compared with 3000 rice genotypes. Further, the phylogenetic and various structural analysis was performed using in silico approaches. Further, to understand its allelic variation in rice, SNPs and indels were detected among the 3000 rice genotypes which indicated that while coding region is highly conserved, yet noncoding regions such as UTR and intron contained most of the variation. Phylogenetic analysis of the OglDREB2A sequence in different Oryza as well as in diverse eudicot species revealed that DREB from various Oryza species were diversed much earlier than other genes. Further, structural features and in silico
