The phytocyanin gene family in rice (Oryza sativa L.): genome-wide identification, classification and transcriptional analysis.

BACKGROUND: Phytocyanins (PCs) are plant-specific blue copper proteins involved in electron transport, and a large number of known PCs are considered to be chimeric arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs). To date there has not been a genome-wide overview of the OsPC gene family. Therefore, as the first ste...
