Genome-wide identification and characterization of the 14-3-3 family in Vitis vinifera L. during berry development and cold- and heat-stress response.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 14-3-3 family of ubiquitous proteins in eukaryotes plays important roles in the regulation of various plant biological processes. However, less information is known about this family in grape fruit.

Results

To investigate the characteristics and functions of 14-3-3 in grape, a total of 11 14-3-3 proteins were identified. Phylogenetic analysis of 14-3-3 proteins in grape (VviGRFs) with homologous proteins in Arabidopsis showed that these proteins were classified into two groups, namely, epsilon and non-epsilon groups. Epsilon group members commonly contained more introns and motifs than non-epsilon group, and some intron positions were found to be conserved between Vitis and Arabidopsis 14-3-3 genes. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR results indicated that VviGRF genes may b
