Comprehensive analysis of the Gossypium hirsutum L. respiratory burst oxidase homolog (Ghrboh) gene family.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant NADPH oxidase (NOX), also known as respiratory burst oxidase homolog (rboh), encoded by the rboh gene, is a key enzyme in the reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolic network. It catalyzes the formation of the superoxide anion (O₂^•-), a type of ROS. In recent years, various studies had shown that members of the plant rboh gene family were involved in plant growth and developmental processes as well as in biotic and abiotic stress responses, but little is known about its functional role in upland cotton.

Results

In the present study, 26 putative Ghrboh genes were identified and characterized. They were phylogenetically classified into six subfamilies and distributed at different densities across 18 of the 26 chromosomes or scaffolds. Thei
