AI Article Synopsis
- - A total of 43 MORF genes were identified in the Brassica napus cultivar "Zhongshuang 11," and categorized into three groups based on phylogenetic analysis.
- - The BnMORF genes are located on 14 chromosomes and have expanded through duplications; most of their proteins are predicted to be found in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
- - The study suggests that BnMORF genes play significant roles in response to stress and hormones, as well as plant growth and development, setting the stage for future research on their functions.
Article Abstract
Background: RNA editing in chloroplast and mitochondrion transcripts of plants is an important type of post-transcriptional RNA modification in which members of the multiple organellar RNA editing factor gene family (MORF) play a crucial role. However, a systematic identification and characterization of MORF members in Brassica napus is still lacking.
Results: In this study, a total of 43 MORF genes were identified from the genome of the Brassica napus cultivar "Zhongshuang 11". The Brassica napus MORF (BnMORF) family members were divided into three groups through phylogenetic analysis. BnMORF genes distributed on 14 chromosomes and expanded due to segmental duplication and whole genome duplication repetitions. The majority of BnMORF proteins were predicted to be localized to mitochondria and chloroplasts. The promoter cis-regulatory element analysis, spatial-temporal expression profiling, and co-expression network of BnMORF genes indicated the involvement of BnMORF genes in stress and phytohormone responses, as well as growth and development.
Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of BnMORF genes and lays a foundation for further exploring their physiological functions in Brassica napus.
