- Abstract
In this study, AP2 DNA-binding domain-containing transcription factor, <italic>OglDREB2A,</italic> was cloned from the African rice (<italic>Oryza glaberrima</italic>) and compared with 3000 rice genotypes. Further, the phylogenetic and various structural analysis was performed using in silico approaches. Further, to understand its allelic variation in rice, SNPs and indels were detected among the 3000 rice genotypes which indicated that while coding region is highly conserved, yet noncoding regions such as UTR and intron contained most of the variation. Phylogenetic analysis of the <italic>OglDREB2A</italic> sequence in different <italic>Oryza</italic> as well as in diverse eudicot species revealed that DREB from various <italic>Oryza</italic> species were diversed much earlier than other genes. Further, structural features and in silico analyses provided insights into different properties of OglDREB2A protein. The neutrality test on the coding region of <italic>OglDREB2A</italic> from different genotypes of <italic>O. glaberrima</italic> showed the lack of selection in this gene. Among the different developmental stages, it was upregulated at tillering and flag leaf under salinity treatment indicating its positive role in seedling and reproductive stage tolerance. Real-time PCR analysis also indicated the conserve expression pattern of this gene under salinity stress across the three different <italic>Oryza</italic> species having different degree of salinity tolerance.
