| Abstract: | Plant calcium-dependent protein kinases(CDPKs) play important roles in diverse physiological processes by regulating the downstream components of calcium signaling. To date, only a few species of the plant CDPK gene family have been functionally identified. In addition, there has been no systematic analysis of the CDPK family in cotton. Here, 41 putative cotton CDPK(Gr CDPK) genes were identified via bioinformatics analysis of the entire genome of Gossypium raimondii and were classified into four groups based on evolutionary relatedness. Gene structure analysis indicated that most of these Gr CDPK genes share a similar intron-exon structure(7 or 8 exons), strongly supporting their close evolutionary relationships. Chromosomal distributions and phylogenetics analysis showed that 13 pairs of Gr CDPK genes arose via segmental duplication events. Furthermore, using microarray data of upland cotton(G. hirsutum L.), comparative profiles analysis of these Gh CDPKs indicated that some of the encoding genes might be involved in the responses to multiple abiotic stresses and play important regulatory roles during cotton fiber development. This study is the first genome-wide analysis of the CDPK family in cotton, and it will provide valuable information for the further functional characterization of cotton CDPK genes. |
