Genome-wide identification and expression profile of GhGRF gene family in Gossypium hirsutum L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cotton is the primary source of renewable natural fiber in the textile industry and an important biodiesel crop. Growth regulating factors (GRFs) are involved in regulating plant growth and development.

Methods

Using genome-wide analysis, we identified 35 GRF genes in Gossypium hirsutum.

Results

Chromosomal location information revealed an uneven distribution of GhGRF genes, with maximum genes on chromosomes A02, A05, and A12 from the At sub-genome and their corresponding D05 and D12 from the Dt sub-genome. In the phylogenetic tree, 35 GRF genes were divided into five groups, including G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5. The majority of GhGRF genes have two to three introns and three to four exons, and their deduced proteins contained
