Genome-wide comparison and analysis of splicing factor SYF2/NTC31/p29 in eukaryotes: Special focus on vertebrates.

The gene -an RNA splicing factor-can interact with Cyclin D-type binding protein 1 (GICP) in many biological processes, including splicing regulation, cell cycle regulation, and DNA damage repair. In our previous study we performed genome-wide identification and functional analysis of in plant species. The phylogenetic relationships and expression profiles of have not been systematically studied in animals, however.

Rop GTPase and its target Cdc42/Rac-interactive-binding motif-containing protein genes respond to desiccation during pollen maturation.

Here, we report unique desiccation-associated ABA signaling transduction through which the Rop (Rho GTPase of plants) gene is regulated during the stage of pollen maturation. A gene encoding Rho GTPase was identified in lily (Lilium longiflorum Thunb.) pollen.
