Genome-wide analysis of the rice J-protein family: identification, genomic organization, and expression profiles under multiple stresses.

ABSTRACT: J-proteins which function as molecular chaperone played critical roles in plant growth, development, and response to various environment stresses, but little was reported on this gene family in rice. Here, we identified 115 putative rice J-proteins and classified them into nine major clades (I-IX) according to their phylogenetic relationships. Gene-structure analysis revealed that each member of the same clade has same or similar exon-intron structure, and most rice J-protein genes of clade VII were intronless. Chromosomes mapping suggested that tandem duplication was occurred in evolution. Expression profile showed that the 61 rice J-protein genes were expressed in at least one tissue. The result implied that they could be involved in the process of rice growth and development. The RNA-se
