Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the AlkB Gene Family in Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis).

ABSTRACT: Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) is a sub-tropical fruit crop with important economic value that is popular worldwide; however, various pathogens significantly affect citrus cultivation and distribution. AlkB homolog (ALKBH) proteins play crucial roles in RNA metabolism and translation in plants; however, no systematic investigations have been performed on ALKBH in sweet oranges. In this study, ten ALKBH gene family members were identified in Citrus sinensis genome. Standardized analyses, including physical properties, phylogenetic analysis, gene structure, motif composition, cis-acting element prediction, chromosome distribution, and synteny analysis, were conducted. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that the ten proteins were clustered into three groups, each of which had similar motifs
