In Silico Analyses of Autophagy-Related Genes in Rapeseed ( L.) under Different Abiotic Stresses and in Various Tissues.

The autophagy-related genes (ATGs) play important roles in plant growth and response to environmental stresses. () is among the most important oilseed crops, but are largely unknown in this species. Therefore, a genome-wide analysis of gene family () was performed. One hundred and twenty-seven ATGs were determined due to the genome, which belongs to 20 main groups. Segmental duplication occurred more than the tandem duplication in . Ka/Ks for the most duplicated pair genes were less than one, which indicated that the negative selection occurred to maintain their function during the evolution of plants. Based on the results, are involved in various developmental processes and respond to biotic and abiotic stresses. One hundred and seven miRNA molecules are involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of 41 . In general, 127 simple sequence repeat marker (SSR) loci were also detected in . Based on the RNA-seq data, the highest expression in root and silique was related to , while in shoot and seed, it was . The expression patterns of the most were significantly up-regulated or down-regulated responding to dehydration, salinity, abscisic acid, and cold. This research provides information that can detect candidate genes for genetic manipulation in .
