Comprehensive genomic survey, structural classification and expression analysis of C2H2 zinc finger protein gene family in Brassica rapa L.

ABSTRACT: C2H2 zinc finger protein (ZFP) genes have been extensively studied in many organisms and can function as transcription factors and be involved in many biological processes including plant growth and development and stress responses. In the current study, a comprehensive genomics analysis of the C2H2-ZFP genes in B. rapa was performed. A total of 301 B. rapa putative C2H2-ZFP (BrC2H2-ZFP) genes were identified from the available Brassica genome databases, and further characterized through analysis of conserved amino acid residues in C2H2-ZF domains and their organization, subcellular localization, phylogeny, additional domain, chromosomal location, synteny relationship, Ka/Ks ratio, and expression pattern. We also analyzed the expression patterns of eight B. rapa C2H2-ZFP genes under salt a
