Genome-Wide Identification and Functional Characterization of the Chloride Channel TaCLC Gene Family in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT: In plants, chloride channels (CLC) are involved in a series of specific functions, such as regulation of nutrient transport and stress tolerance. Members of the wheat Triticum aestivum L. CLC (TaCLC) gene family have been proposed to encode anion channels/transporters that may be related to nitrogen transportation. To better understand their roles, TaCLC family was screened and 23 TaCLC gene sequences were identified using a Hidden Markov Model in conjunction with wheat genome database. Gene structure, chromosome location, conserved motif, and expression pattern of the resulting family members were then analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the TaCLC family can be divided into two subclasses (I and II) and seven clusters (-a, -c1, -c2, -e, -f1, -f2, and -g2). Using a wh
