Identification and analysis of the differential expression of the NPR family in Persian lemon with HLB

The NPR1 gene (No expresor de PR Genes1) and its homologues are regulators of Systemic Adquired Resistance (SAR), genes through their interaction with transcription factors allows the expression defense or proteins related to pathogenesis (PR) thus improvement resistance also considered receptors salicylic acid. To date there no records on identification analysis in Citrus latifolia. present work aimed identify presence NPR family HLB-infected C. latifolia transcriptome using Arabidosis thaliana sinensis reference genes. When obtaining transcriptome, bioinformatics programs (Uniprot, Phytozome, BLAST, Linux, BioEdit TnT) were used expressed As a result, total 5 found: 2 genes, 1 NPR3, putative genes: NPR4, positively negatively without statistical significance. identified proved belong same subfamilies sharing similar protein domain composition patterns, so it can be said that these homologs could effective against CLas pathogen, since they induce response. These findings bases as management measure combat HLB.
