Genome-Wide Analysis of Genes Involved in the GA Signal Transduction Pathway in '' Pear ( Bunge).

Gibberellic acid (GA) is an important phytohormone that regulates every aspect of plant growth and development. While elements involved in GA signaling have been identified and, hence, their functions have been well studied in model plants, such as Arabidopsis and rice, very little is known in pear. We, therefore, analyzed the genes related to GA signaling from the recently sequenced genome of the wildtype '' pear ( Bunge), a widely used rootstock for grafting in pear cultivation in China due to its vigorous growth and resistance to abiotic and biotic stress.

Genome-Wide Identification of Genes Encoding for Rho-Related Proteins in '' Pear ( Bunge) and Their Expression Analysis in Response to Abiotic Stress.

Twelve Rho-related proteins (ROPs), namely PbROPs, were identified from the genome of the recently sequenced '' pear ( Bunge), a wild-type pear variety routinely used for rootstocks in grafting in China. The length and molecular weight of these proteins are between 175 and 215 amino acids and 19.46 and 23.
