The TIFY Gene Family in Wheat and its Progenitors: Genome-wide Identification, Evolution and Expression Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The TIFY gene family is a group of plant-specific proteins involved in the jasmonate (JA) metabolic process, which plays a vital role in plant growth and development as well as stress response. Although it has been extensively studied in many species, the significance of this family is not well studied in wheat.

Objective

To comprehensively understand the genome organization and evolution of TIFY family in wheat, a genome-wide identification was performed in wheat and its two progenitors using updated genome information provided here.

Results

In total, 63, 13 and 17 TIFY proteins were identified in wheat, Triticum urartu and Aegilops tauschii respectively. Phylogenetic analysis clustered them into 18 groups with 14 groups possessing A, B and D
