Genome-wide analysis of Fragaria vesca Three-Amino-Acid Loop-Extension (TALE) gene

Abstract

The present study is aimed to identify and characterize the three-amino-acid-loop extension (TALE) genes in Fragaria vesca as bioinformatics. TALE superclasshomeoproteins have important roles in regulating certain signal pathways in the plantsystem. However, there is no knowledge about the role of TALE genes in Fragariavesca. According to this study, a total of 18 candidate FvescaTale genes wereidentified. Identification of motifs, exon and intron analysis, genome mapping,localization in the cell, three-dimensional modeling, and ontology analysis were madeaccording to these genes. This bioinformatic analysis revealed that FvescaTale genesmight play an important role in stress response for Fragaria vesca cultivars andsuggests that these genes could be used as functional markers for in silico analysis forfuture studies.
