Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 271: Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of APC E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Genes Family in Triticum aestivum

This study identified 14 members of the APC gene family in the wheat genome and divided them into three subgroups (CCS52B, CCS52A, and CDC20) to better understand their functions. Promoter sequence analysis revealed the presence of several cis-acting elements related to hormone and stress responses in the APC E3 ubiquitin ligases in wheat. All identified APC E3 ubiquitin ligase family members were highly expressed in the leaves, and the expression of most genes was induced by the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA). In addition, the APC gene family in wheat may play a role in plant defense mechanisms. This study comprehensively analyzes APC genes in wheat, laying the groundwork for future research on the function of APC genes in response to viral infections and expanding our understanding of wheat immunity mechanisms.
