Online published on 22 February, 2013. Abstract Uptake and translocation of anionic nutrients play essential roles in physiological processes including plant growth, nutrition, signal transduction, and development. Approximately 5% of the Oryza sativa genome appears to encode membrane transport proteins. These proteins are classified and several hundred putative transporters have not yet been assigned to families. In this work, we have analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of CNGC (cyclic nucleotide gated channel) which are anion transporters. Phylogenetic trees of the family define the evolutionary relationships of the members to each other. This family contains numerous members, indicating diverse functions in vivo. Closely related isoforms and separate subfamilies exist within the gene family, indicating possible redundancies and specialized functions. To facilitate their further study, which includes alignment of the analyzed genes and their chromosomal locations.
