Plant Cryptochromes (CRYs) are photolyase-like flavoproteins that have been reported in all evolutionary lineages. As UV-A/blue light photoreceptors, CRYs play a vital role in plant growth and development. In the present study, a total of 94 CRY1 and 68 CRY2 candidate genes were retrieved from 58 and 50 plant genomes, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that CRY genes could be divided into three groups (dicotyledons, monocots, and spore plants). A comprehensive review of the CRY gene family suggests that the CRY genes are relatively conservative and stable during evolution.

植物隐色基因家族的全基因组分析

植物隐色染料（CRYs）是类似光裂解酶的黄素蛋白，已在所有进化谱系中得到报道。作为UV-A /蓝光感光体，CRY在植物生长发育中起着至关重要的作用。在本研究中，分别从58和50个植物基因组中检索到总共94个CRY1和68个CRY2候选基因。系统发育分析表明，CRY基因可以分为三类（双子叶植物，单子叶植物和孢子植物）。对CRY基因家族的全面审查表明，CRY基因在进化过程中相对保守且稳定。
