Genome-wide identification of StU-box gene family and assessment of their expression in developmental stages of Solanum tuberosum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Plant U-box (PUB), ubiquitin ligase gene, has a highly conserved domain in potato. However, little information is available about U-box genes in potato (Solanum tuberosum). In this study, 62 U-box genes were detected in the potato genome using bioinformatics methods. Further, motif analysis, gene structure, gene expression, TFBS, and synteny analysis were performed on the U-box genes.

Results

Based on in silico analysis, most of StU-boxs included a U-box domain; however, some of them lacked harbored domain the ARM, Pkinase_Tyr, and other domains. Based on their phylogenetic relationships, the StU-box family members were categorized into four classes. Analysis of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) in the promoter region of StU-box genes revealed that StU
