Genome-wide characterization and identification of cyclophilin genes associated with leaf rust resistance in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT: Cyclophilins (CYPs) are a group of highly conserved proteins involved in host-pathogen interactions in diverse plant species. However, the role of CYPs during disease resistance in wheat remains largely elusive. In the present study, the systematic genome-wide survey revealed a set of 81 TaCYP genes from three subfamilies (GI, GII, and GIII) distributed on all 21 wheat chromosomes. The gene structures of TaCYP members were found to be highly variable, with 1-14 exons/introns and 15 conserved motifs. A network of miRNA targets with TaCYPs demonstrated that TaCYPs were targeted by multiple miRNAs and vice versa. Expression profiling was done in leaf rust susceptible Chinese spring (CS) and the CS-Ae. Umbellulata derived resistant IL "Transfer (TR). Three ho
