Genetic Conservation of CBS Domain Containing Protein Family in Oryza Species and Their Association with Abiotic Stress Responses.

ABSTRACT: Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs) form a comprehensive gene pool that can answer the queries related to plant domestication, speciation, and ecological adaptation. The genus 'Oryza' comprises about 27 species, of which two are cultivated, while the remaining are wild. Here, we have attempted to understand the conservation and diversification of the genes encoding Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) domain-containing proteins (CDCPs) in domesticated and CWRs of rice. Few members of CDCPs were previously identified to be stress-responsive and associated with multiple stress tolerance in rice. Through genome-wide analysis of eleven rice genomes, we identified a total of 36 genes encoding CDCPs in O. longistaminata, 38 in O. glaberrima, 39 each in O. rufipogon, O. glumaepatu
