Abstract:

CLIP-Associated Proteins (CLASPs) are microtubule associated proteins (MAPS) which are regulators of microtubule structure and function, and play a key role in plant growth and morphogenesis. In this study, six CLASP genes were preliminarily identified in Gossypium hirsutum L. by bioinformatics. Based on multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis, we divided the six CLASP genes into I and II subfamilies. The subfamily I has HEAT domain and CLASP-N structure; and the subfamily II only has CLASP-N structure. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed that GhCLASP family genes expressed in root, stem, leaf, petal and fiber at different developmental periods,and there existed different expression patterns. CotAD_63740 (GenBank accession No. KX881965) and CotAD_04861 (GenBank accession No. KX881961) were preferentially expressed in fiber; CotAD_48232 (GenBank accession No. KX881962), CotAD_48665 (GenBank accession No. KX881963), CotAD_55570 (GenBank accession No. KX881964), and CotAD_68468 (GenBank accession No. KX881966) were preferentially expressed in stem. Different expression patterns suggest that they may play different roles during cotton development. The results will be helpful for the further analysis of CLASP family proteins in cotton.
