Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization and Expression Analysis of Xyloglucan Endotransglucosylase/Hydrolase Genes Family in Barley (Hordeum vulgare).

ABSTRACT: Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs)-a family of xyloglucan modifying enzymes-play an essential role in the construction and restructuring of xyloglucan cross-links. However, no comprehensive study has been performed on this gene family in barley. A total of 24 HvXTH genes (named HvXTH1-24) and an EG16 member were identified using the recently completed genomic database of barley (Hordeum vulgare). Phylogenetic analysis showed that 24 HvXTH genes could be classified into three phylogenetic groups: (I/II, III-A and III-B) and HvXTH15 was in the ancestral group. All HvXTH protein members-except HvXTH15-had a conserved N-glycosylation site. The genomic location of HvXTHs on barley chromosomes showed that the 24 genes are une
