Identification and Structure Analysis of KCS Family Genes Suggest Their Reponding to Regulate Fiber Development in Long-Staple Cotton Under Salt-Alkaline Stress.

ABSTRACT: Plant 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) gene family catalyzed a β ketoacyl-CoA synthase, which was the rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Gossypium barbadense was well-known not only for high-quality fiber, which was perceived as a cultivated species of Gossypium. In this study, a total of 131 KCS genes were identified in four cotton species, there were 38, 44, 26, 23 KCS genes in the G. barbadense, the G. hirsutum, the G. arboreum and G. raimondii, respectively. The gene structure and expression pattern were analyzed. GBKCS genes were divided into six subgroups, the chromosome distribution of members of the family were mapped. The prediction of cis-acting elements of the GBKCS
