Abstract

The () genes, initially characterized as nitrate or peptide transporters in plants, are involved in the transport of a large variety of substrates, including amino acids, nitrate, auxin (IAA), jasmonates (JAs), abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs) and glucosinolates. A total of 169 potential functional genes were excavated in , and they showed diversified expression patterns in 90 different organs or tissues based on transcriptome profile data. The complex time-serial expression changes were found for most functional genes in the development process of leaves, silique walls and seeds, which indicated that the expression of () genes may respond to altered phytohormone and secondary metabolite content through combining with promoter element enrichment analysis. Furthermore, many genes were detected to respond to vernalization with two different patterns, and 20 genes responded to nitrate deficiency. These results will provide useful information for further investigation of the biological function of genes for growth and development in rapeseed.
