| Abstract | The maize β-glucosidase (ZmGLU1) hydrolyzes cytokinin-conjugates for releasing active cytokinins and thus plays important roles in cytokinin regulatory processes. ZmGLU1 belongs to glycosyl hydrolases 1 (GH1) gene family with a large number of members, and the gene function of other homologs remains to be investigated. In this study, 47 Arabidopsis, 34 rice, 31 brachypodium, 28 sorghum and 26 maize GH1 protein sequences were collected and subsequently used to construct a phylogenetic tree by Neighbor-Joining method. ZmGLU1 together with its 7 paralogs and 4 sorghum homologs were assigned into a distinct group (named GLU subfamily) with far evolutionary distance to other GH1 members. None of the Arabidopsis, rice and brachypodium gene falling into this group indicated a recent evolutionary emergence of GLU subfamily in some Poaceae plants after the divergence of Poaceae species. Phylogeny and comparative genome analysis revealed that GLU subfamily members of maize and sorghum evolved from a common ancestor, and expanded independently in each species by several duplications after maize-sorghum split. Ka/Ks analysis showed that purifying selection played important roles in maintenance of similar functions among the maize GLU paralogs. In addition, the similar protein properties and cytokinin-dependent gene expressions further suggested the similar functions of ZmGLUs in cytokinin activation. However, the organ-dependent expression of ZmGLUs exhibited diverse patterns, which might contribute to their diverse roles in cytokinin homeostasis. Taken together, this work put new insights into the evolution and expression of ZmGLU genes, and provided the foundation for future functional investigations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
