Genome-wide identification, evolution, expression, and alternative splicing profiles of peroxiredoxin genes in cotton.

ABSTRACT: Peroxiredoxin (PRX) is a ubiquitous thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase that can eliminate excessive free radicals produced by stress and protect cells from oxidative damage. PRXs are also involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS)- and redox-dependent signaling by performing redox interactions with other proteins and modify their redox status. At present, PRX family identification, evolution and regulation research has been conducted in some plants; however, systematic research about this family is lacking in cotton. In this study, a total of 44 PRXs were identified in the cotton genome. Phylogenetic and conserved active site analyses showed that the PRXs were divided into six subfamilies according to the conserved site (PxxxTxxC…S…W/F) and conserved cysteinyl resi
