Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Profile Analysis of CONSTANS-like Genes in Woodland Strawberry (Fragaria vesca).

ABSTRACT: CONSTANS-like (CO-like) gene is one of the most important regulators in the flowering process of the plant, playing a core role in the photoperiodic flowering induction pathway. In this study, we identified 10 distinct CO-like genes (FveCOs) in woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca). They were classified into three groups with specific gene structure characteristics or protein domains in each group. The effect of selection pressure on the FveCOs in the woodland strawberry was tested by Ka/Ks, and it was shown that the evolution rate of FveCOs was controlled by purification selection factors. Intraspecific synteny analysis of woodland strawberry FveCOs showed that at least one duplication event existed in the gene family members. Colline
