Phylogenetic and collinearity analyses revealed that the CmAPX gene family can be classified into three subclasses, with seven collinear gene pairs. Furthermore, CmAPXs are closely related to citrus, pomelo, and lemon, followed by Arabidopsis, and exhibit low homology with rice. Addit...
Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the CmAPX gene family comprised seven different clades, with each clade of genes exhibiting comparable motifs and structures. We cloned 28 CmAPX genes to infer their encoded protein sequences; we then compared these sequences with proteins encoded ...
APXs are regulated by multiple gene families and are classified on the basis of their subcellular localization. APX family members have previously been reported in Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, tomato, sorghum and cotton based on their genome [13,14,15,16,17]. On the other hand, CAT is a ...
Peroxidases are enzymes that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, thus minimizing cell injury and modulating signaling pathways as response to this reactive oxygen species. Using a phylogenetic approach, we previously identified a new peroxidase family composed of a small subset of ascorbate perox...
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical which modulates protein function and gene expression throughout all stages of plant development. Fruit ripening involves a complex scenario where drastic phenotypical and metabolic changes take place. Pepper fruits are one of the most consumed horticultural products...
