Identification and Bioinformatics Analysis of PP2C Gene Family in Melon
PP2C is a class of protein phosphatases that play a crucial regulatory role in organisms.To study their function in the growth and development of melon,this study analyzed the PP2C gene family in melon using bioin-formatics methods.The results showed that there are a total of 61 PP2C gene family members in the melon genome,divided into 11 subfamilies.Motif and gene structure analyses revealed that CmPP2C genes within the same sub-family have high similarities in gene structure and motifs.Gene duplication event analysis indicated that segmental duplication is the primary reason for the expansion of the CmPP2C gene family,and CmPP2C gene members might have undergone strict purifying selection during evolution.Expression analysis showed that CmPP2C genes are unevenly distributed across different tissues of melon,with some genes exhibiting significant tissue specificity.Additionally,promoter analysis showed that multiple response elements related to plant hormones and stress are present in the promoter sequences of CmPP2C genes.This study provides some reference for the research on the biological functions of the melon PP2C gene family.
