%0 Journal Article %T Phylogenetic relationships between Arabidopsis and sugarcane bZIP transcriptional regulatory factors %A Vincentz Michel %A Schl£¿gl Paulo S. %A Corr¨ºa Luis Gustavo G. %A K¨¹hne Fabiana %J Genetics and Molecular Biology %D 2001 %I Sociedade Brasileira de Gen¨¦tica %X We built a complete and non-redundant database of bZIP transcriptional regulatory factors from the Arabidopsis reference genome. These Arabidopsis bZIP factors were ordered into thirteen families of evolutionary related proteins and this classification was used to identify and organize sugarcane cDNAs encoding bZIP proteins. We also show how this classification should help in defining putative clusters of orthologous groups of higher plant bZIP regulators and briefly discuss the expected benefits of this procedure to efficiently characterize sugarcane bZIP transcriptional regulators. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1415-47572001000100009
