The Elucidation on the Involvement of Indica Rice OryzacystatinI Gene in Response to Abiotic Stresses via Bioinformatics Analysis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Biotechnology and Biochemistry (IOSR-JBB - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Compared with other plant species, the study on the potential of rice cystatin gene (Oryzacystatin-I) in response to abiotic stress is underexplored. Regarding this, isolation and sequence analysis of OCI gene was conducted on three Indica rice varieties, named as MR219, MR211 and AERON 1. Unique features of phytocystatins family were found on the isolated sequences, including GG residue, LARFAVTHEN, QVVAG and PW motif. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this gene is a putative orthologous for corn, wheat and barley cystatin family. Various cis-acting regulatory elements that associated with stress responses were identified at the upstream regions of this rice cystatin gene, indicating the potential of this gene to be used in combating the abiotic stress issues in world rice production.
