Identification,Molecular Characteristics,and Evolutionary Analysis of Gerbera GID1 Family Members Based on Transcriptome Data
Gerbera,as a globally significant cut flower,holds both ornamental and economic value.This study employs bioinformatics analysis to identify five gibberellin metabolism-related receptor proteins of the GID1 family(GID1-like1,GID1-like2,GID1-like3,GID1-like4,GID1-like5)from the full transcriptome of Gerbera.The physicochemical properties analysis shows that the Gerbera GID1 family members are mostly acidic,hydrophilic,non-secretory proteins,with most having transmembrane structures.Their main structural components are α-helices and random coils.Phylogenetic tree analysis reveals that the Gerbera GID1 family is mainly divided into four branches,with GID1-like3 and GID1-like4 belonging to the first branch,and GID1-like1,GID1-like2,and GID1-like5 belonging to the third branch.Family interaction network and protein conserved domain prediction results suggest that the GID1 family may be involved in the gibberellin signaling process during plant growth and development.This information provides a theoretical foundation for studying the biological functions of the GID1 family in the gibberellin metabolism pathway of Gerbera and for optimizing Gerbera varieties.
