In Silico Identification and Comparative Genomics of Candidate Genes Involved in Biosynthesis and Accumulation of Seed Oil in Plants

Structure of FatB (palmitoyl thioesterase) gene in Arabidopsis (At1g08510), castor bean (29848.m004677), and four soybean homologs (Glyma0421910, Glyma05g08060, Glyma17g12940, and Glyma06g23560). The 5th exon of FatB in Arabidopsis showed homology to the 6th exon of one of the homologs of soybean (Glyma04g21910) and last two exons (6th and 7th) of another homolog of soybean (Glyma06g23560), whereas 6th exon of castor bean showed homology to the 6th exons of other two homologs of soybean (Glyma05g08060 and Glyma17g12940).
