Genome-wide identification and functional analysis of ARF transcription factors in Brassica juncea var. tumida.

ABSTRACT: Auxin signalling is vital for plant growth and development, from embryogenesis to senescence. Recent studies have shown that auxin regulates biological processes by mediating gene expression through a family of functionally original DNA-binding auxin response factors, which exist in a large multi-gene family in plants. However, to date, no information has been available about characteristics of the ARF gene family in Brassica juncea var. tumida. In this study, 65 B. juncea genes that encode ARF proteins were identified in the B. juncea whole-genome, classified into three phylogenetical groups and found to be widely and randomly distributed in the A-and B-genome. Highly conserved proteins were also found within each ortholog based on gene structure and conserved motifs, as well as clusterin
