Genome-Wide Identification and Evolutionary Analysis of Gossypium YTH Domain-Containing RNA-Binding Protein Family and the Role of GhYTH8 in Response to Drought Stress

YTH domain-containing proteins are one kind of RNA-binding protein involved in post-transcriptional regulation and play multiple roles in regulating the growth, development, and abiotic stress responses of plants. However, the YTH domain-containing RNA-binding protein family has not been previously...

Description
Summary:	YTH domain-containing proteins are one kind of RNA-binding protein involved in post-transcriptional regulation and play multiple roles in regulating the growth, development, and abiotic stress responses of plants. However, the YTH domain-containing RNA-binding protein family has not been previously studied in cotton. In this study, a total of 10, 11, 22, and 21 genes were identified in , , , and , respectively. These genes were categorized into three subgroups by phylogenetic analysis. The chromosomal distribution, synteny analysis, structures of genes, and the motifs of YTH proteins were analyzed. Furthermore, the -element of genes promoter, miRNA targets of genes, and subcellular localization of GhYTH8 and GhYTH16 were characterized. Expression patterns of genes in different tissues, organs, and in response to different stresses were also analyzed. Moreover, functional verifications revealed that silencing attenuated the drought tolerance in the upland cotton TM-1 line. These findings provide useful clues for the functional and evolutionary analysis of genes in cotton.
