Genome-wide analysis of the auxin response factor gene family in cucumber

S. Q. Liu and Hu, L. F., Genome-wide analysis of the auxin response factor gene family in cucumber, vol. 12, pp. 4317-4331, 2013.

Auxin response factors (ARFs) participate in the transcriptional regulation of a series of biological processes related to growth and development. The ARF genes comprise a large multigene family in plants. Recently, a draft of the full cucumber (Cucumis sativus) genome assembly has been released; however, none of the ARF genes have been characterized. We made a comprehensive analysis of ARF genes in this species. Fifteen ARF genes were identified and could be divided into three classes.

Genome-wide identification, phylogeny and expression analysis of the lipoxygenase gene family in cucumber

S. Q. Liu, Liu, X. H., and Jiang, L. W., Genome-wide identification, phylogeny and expression analysis of the lipoxygenase gene family in cucumber, vol. 10, pp. 2613-2636, 2011.

Plant lipoxygenase (LOX) is involved in growth and developmental control processes, through the biosynthesis of regulatory molecules and defense responses to pathogens, wounding and stress. To date, few LOX proteins and little tissue expression profiling have been reported in detail for cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Recent completion of the cucumber genome sequence now permits genome-wide analysis of the LOX gene family in cucumber as well as comparison with LOX in Arabidopsis and rice.
