Rice, RFT1, phylogenetic analysis, predicted structureAbstract
Rice is one of the most important species in the family of Poaceae. As one of the major crop that is consumed by world population, it is cultivated commercially in many parts of the world. Hence, the phylogeny study of this crop is crucial as a step for improvement of its breeding programs. Phylogenetic relationship among 12 rice cultivars that originated from two common sub-species; Indica and Japonica were inferred by comparing protein sequence data sets derived from its flowering time gene, namely RFT1 and analyzed using maximum parsimony (MP) method. The predicted structure of RFT1 protein was generated by I-TASSER server and analyzed using YASARA software. The result showed that the cultivars were classified into two major groups, where the first group (Japonica) evolved first followed by the second group (Indica). The findings suggested that some cultivars had a close relationship with each other even it is originates from different varieties. The relationships among these cultivars provide useful information for better understanding of molecular evolution process and designing good breeding program in order to generate new cultivar.
