Genome-wide identification and analysis of the COI gene family in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

COI (CORONATINE INSENSITIVE), an F-box component of the Skp1-Cullin-F-box protein (SCF^COI1) ubiquitin E3 ligase, plays important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. Recent studies have shown that COIs are involved in pollen fertility. In this study, we identified and characterized COI genes in the wheat genome and analyzed expression patterns under abiotic stress.

Results

A total of 18 COI candidate sequences for 8 members of COI gene family were isolated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Phylogenetic and structural analyses showed that these COI genes could be divided into seven distinct subfamilies. The COI genes showed high expression in stamens and glumes. The qRT-PCR results revealed that wheat COIs were involved in several abio
