Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression of HSP 20 gene family in dove.

ABSTRACT: Davidia involucrata is a significant living fossil with high abiotic stress tolerance. Although heat shock protein 20 (HSP20) has already been linked to heat stress, nothing is known about HSP20 family protein activities in D. involucrata. The functional dynamics of the D. involucrata HSP20 (DiHSP20) gene family were identified and characterized using a thorough genome-wide investigation. From the genome of D. involucrata, a total of 42 HSP20 genes were identified, which are distributed across 16 chromosomes. The DiHSP20 proteins were grouped into seven separate subfamilies by our phylogenetic analysis, which was validated by the conserved motif composition and gene structure studies. Segmental duplication events were shown to play a crucial role i
