Abstract
The DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) proteins are transcription factors involved in many biological processes in plants. To predict the evolutionary pattern, a genome-wide in-silico analysis of Dof TFs family in diploid (Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium raimondii) and allotetraploid (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense) cotton species were carried out. In G. arboreum, we have identified 58 non-redundant genes encoding Dof proteins renamed as GaDof (G. arboreum Dof), 55 Dof genes were identified in G. raimondii (GrDof), 89 were predicted ffrom G. hirsutum (GhDof) and the highest, 110 Dof genes were identified in G. barbadense (GbDof). The phylogenetic analysis, physical location, gene structure, conserved domain analyses were also investigated for G. arboreum, G. raimondii, and G. hirsutum. The gene expression pattern in G. hirsutum, at different growth stages, revealing the probable involvement of some GhDof genes in growth and development. These genes may improve seed germination and growth in cotton.
