Genome-wide identification and characterization of the OFP gene family in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis).

ABSTRACT: Ovate family proteins (OFPs) are a class of proteins with a conserved OVATE domain that contains approximately 70 amino acid residues. OFP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that participate in regulating plant growth and development and are widely distributed in many plants. Little is known about OFPs in Brassica rapa to date. We identified 29 OFP genes in Brassica rapa and found that they were unevenly distributed on 10 chromosomes. Intron gain events may have occurred during the structural evolution of BraOFP paralogues. Syntenic analysis verified Brassica genome triplication, and whole genome duplication likely contributed to the expansion of the OFP gene family. All BraOFP genes had light responsive- and phytohormone-rela
