Abstract:CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON (CUC) is a plant-speci c transcription factor that plays an important regulatory role in many aspects of plant growth and development. However, its role in kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is largely unknown. In this study, we identi ed six CUCgenes from the kenaf genome and performed bioinformatics analysis. Conserved motif and gene structure analysis showed that the kenaf HcCUC genes had similar conserved motifs and highly conserved gene structure. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the six… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
