biostudies-literatureUnknown12Aono AHThe protein kinase (PK) superfamily is one of the largest superfamilies in plants and the core regulator of cellular signaling. Despite this substantial importance, the kinomes of sugarcane and sorghum have not been profiled. Here, we identified and profiled the complete kinomes of the polyploid <i>Saccharum spontaneum</i> (Ssp) and <i>Sorghum bicolor</i> (Sbi), a close diploid relative. The Sbi kinome was composed of 1,210 PKs; for Ssp, we identified 2,919 PKs when disregarding duplications and allelic copies, and these were related to 1,345 representative gene models. The Ssp and Sbi PKs were grouped into 20 groups and 120 subfamilies and exhibited high compositional similarities and evolutionary divergences. By utilizing the collinearity between the species, this study offers insights iFrontiers in plant science668623https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8294386biostudies-literatureThe Wild Sugarcane and Sorghum Kinomes: Insights Into Expansion, Diversification, and Expression Patterns.PMC8294386Mancini MCPinto LRCarrasco MMSforca DAQuiles MGBalsalobre TWPimenta RJGCarneiro MSNagai JSde Souza APGarcia ALBCorrer FHPereira WADos Santos LBAono AHLandell MGACardoso-Silva CBHosaka GKMargarido GRAfalseThe Wild Sugarcane and Sorghum Kinomes: Insights Into Expansion, Diversification, and Expression Patterns.The protein kinase (PK) superfamily is one of the largest superfamilies in plants and the core regulator of cellular signaling.
