Genome-Wide Analysis of the Cyclin Gene Family and Their Expression Profile in Medicago truncatula.

ABSTRACT: Cyclins, together with highly conserved cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), play an important role in the process of cell cycle in plants, but less is known about the functions of cyclins in legume plants, especially Medicago truncatula. Our genome-wide analysis identified 58, 103, and 51 cyclin members in the M. truncatula, Glycine max, and Phaseolus vulgaris genomes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that these cyclins could be classified into 10 types, and the CycB-like types (CycBL1-BL8) were the specific subgroups in M. truncatula, which was one reason for the expansion of the B-type in M. truncatula. All putative cyclin genes were mapped onto their own chromosomes of each genome, and 9 segmental duplication gene pairs involving 20 genes were ident
