Genomics analysis of genes encoding respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOHs) in jatropha and the comparison with castor bean.

ABSTRACT: Respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOHs), which catalyze the production of superoxide from oxygen and NADPH, play key roles in plant growth and development, hormone signaling, and stress responses. Compared with extensive studies in model plants arabidopsis and rice, little is known about RBOHs in other species. This study presents a genome-wide analysis of Rboh family genes in jatropha (Jatropha curcas) as well as the comparison with castor bean (Ricinus communis), another economically important non-food oilseed crop of the Euphorbiaceae family. The family number of seven members identified from the jatropha genome is equal to that present in castor bean, and further phylogenetic analysis assigned these genes into seven groups named RBOHD, -C, -B, -E, -F, -N, and -H
