Characterization of Histone H3 Gene Family Reveals That GmHH3-3 is Associated With Higher Seed Weight in Glycine max.

ABSTRACT: The main function of histone protein is to provide support to the structure of chromosomes. It helps in binding a long thread of DNA into a more condensed shape to fit into the nucleus. From histone variants, histone H3 (HH3) plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. Characterization of histones has not been reported in Glycine max till now. The objective of this study was to characterize the HH3 gene family for molecular breeding of G. max. In this study, 17 HH3 members in G. max were identified by performing local BLASTp using HH3 members from Arabidopsis as a query. Phylogenetic analysis classified HH3 genes in seven clades.
