Identification and Expression Profiling of the Regulator of Chromosome Condensation 1 (RCC1) Gene Family in Gossypium Hirsutum L. under Abiotic Stress and Hormone Treatments.

ABSTRACT: The regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) is the nucleotide exchange factor for a GTPase called the Ras-related nuclear protein, and it is important for nucleo-plasmic transport, mitosis, nuclear membrane assembly, and control of chromatin agglutination during the S phase of mitosis in animals. In plants, RCC1 molecules act mainly as regulating factors for a series of downstream genes during biological processes such as the ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) response and cold tolerance. In this study, 56 genes were identified in upland cotton by searching the associated reference genomes. The genes were found to be unevenly distributed on 26 chromosomes, except A06, A12, D03, and D12. Phylogenetic analysis by maximum-likelihood revealed that the genes were divided into five subgroups.
