- Abstract
Pseudo-response regulator (PRR) gene family members play a significant role in plant circadian clocks, flowering time inflorescence architecture development during transition from vegetative growth phase to reproductive phase. In current study, we analyzed the expression profiling, phylogenetic relationship, and molecular characterization of PRR gene family members of common wheat by using IWGSC Ref seq v1.1 wheat genome database with a coverage rate of 90%. By using bioinformatic approach total 20 candidate gene sequences were identified and divided into six groups and four clades. It was found that mostly genes have same number of exons and introns showed similar features because they originated through duplication events during evolution processes. Although all the proteins have conserved PRR domains, but some are distinct in their sequences suggesting functional divergence. By comparative synteny analysis it was revealed that Group 1, 2, 3 and 11-D of group 4 have duplication events while group 5 and TaPRR9-B,10-D showed conservation with previously identified PRR members from rice. While expression variation of six groups from each analysis matches with each other. Five groups highly expressed in leaf, spike, and roots in pattern like leaf > spike > root at all three stages booting, heading and anthesis of spike development. This suggests that TaPRR genes play important roles in different photoperiod signaling pathways in different organs at different stages of spike development and flowering via unknown pathway. These findings will also provide comprehensive knowledge about future investigations on wheat PRR family members involved in complex network of circadian system for plant development.
