Analysis of codon usage bias of WRKY transcription factors in Helianthus annuus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The phenomenon of codon usage bias is known to exist in many genomes and is mainly determined by mutation and selection. Codon usage bias analysis is a suitable strategy for identifying the principal evolutionary driving forces in different organisms. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an annual crop that is cultivated worldwide as ornamentals, food plants and for their valuable oil. The WRKY family genes in plants play a central role in diverse regulation and multiple stress responses. Evolutionary analysis of WRKY family genes of H. annuus can provide rich genetic information for developing hybridization resources of the genus Helianthus.

Results

Bases composition analysis showed the average GC content of WRKY genes of H. annuus was 43.42%, and the average GC3
