Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the BURP domain-containing genes in Gossypium hirsutum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many BURP domain-containing proteins, which are unique to plants, have been identified. They performed diverse functions in plant development and the stress response. To date, only a few BURP domain-containing genes have been studied, and no comprehensive analysis of the gene family in cotton has been reported.

Results

In this study, 18, 17 and 30 putative BURP genes were identified in G. raimondii (D₅), G. arboreum (A₂) and G. hirsutum (AD₁), respectively. These BURP genes were phylogenetically classified into eight subfamilies, which were confirmed by analyses of gene structures, motifs and protein domains. The uneven distribution of BURPs in chromosomes and gene duplication analysis indicated that segmental duplication might be
