Identification and in Silico Characterization of GT Factors Involved in Phytohormone and Abiotic Stresses Responses in Brachypodium distachyon.

ABSTRACT: GT factors play critical roles in plant growth and development and in response to various environmental stimuli. Considering the new functions of GT factors on the regulation of plant stress tolerance and seeing as few studies on Brachypodium distachyon were available, we identified GT genes in B. distachyon, and the gene characterizations and phylogenies were systematically analyzed. Thirty-one members of BdGT genes were distributed on all five chromosomes with different densities. All the BdGTs could be divided into five subfamilies, including GT-1, GT-2, GTγ, SH4, and SIP1, based upon their sequence homology. BdGTs exhibited considerably divergent structures among each subfamily according to gene structure and conserved functional domain analysis, but the members within the same subfami
