A genome-wide comparative analysis of bZIP transcription factors in G. arboreum and G. raimondii (Diploid ancestors of present-day cotton).

ABSTRACT: Basic leucine zipper motif (bZIP) transcription factors (TFs) are involved in plant growth regulation, development, and environmental stress responses. These genes have been well characterized in model plants. In current study, a genome-wide analysis of bZIP genes was performed in Gossypium raimondii and Gossypium arboreum taking Arabidopsis thaliana as a reference genome. In total, 85 members of G. raimondii and 87 members of G. arboreum were identified and designated as GrbZIPs and GabZIPs respectively. Phylogenetic analysis clustered bZIP genes into 11 subgroups (A, B, C, D, F, G, H, I, S and X). Gene structure analysis to find the intro-exon structures revealed 1-14 exons in both species. The maximum number of introns were present in sub
