Genome-wide Identification of Jatropha curcas MAPK, MAPKK, and MAPKKK Gene Families and Their Expression Profile Under Cold Stress.

ABSTRACT: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are fundamental signal transduction modules in all eukaryotic organisms, controlling cell division, growth, development, and hormone signaling. Additionally, they can be activated in response to a variety of biotic and abiotic stressors. Although the evolution and expression patterns of MAPK cascade families have been systematically investigated in several model plants (e.g., Arabidopsis, rice, and poplar), we still know very little about MAPK, MAPKK, and MAPKKK families in Jatropha curcas, an economically important species. Therefore, this study performed genome-wide identification and transcriptional expression analysis of these three families in J. curcas. We identified 12 J. curcas MAPK (JcMAPKs), 5 JcMAPKKs, and 65 JcMAPKKKs. Phylogenet
