Genome-wide identification, characterization, and genetic diversity of CCR gene family in Dalbergia odorifera.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lignin is a complex aromatic polymer plays major biological roles in maintaining the structure of plants and in defending them against biotic and abiotic stresses. Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR) is the first enzyme in the lignin-specific biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing the conversion of hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA into hydroxy cinnamaldehyde. Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen is a rare rosewood species for furniture, crafts and medicine. However, the CCR family genes in D. odorifera have not been identified, and their function in lignin biosynthesis remain uncertain.

Methods and results

Here, a total of 24 genes, with their complete domains were identified. Detailed sequence characterization and multiple sequence alignment revealed that the DoCCR protein
