Abstract:
A biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) is a group of genes in a genome that collectively encode the enzymes responsible for producing a specific natural product, such as a secondary metabolite or a bioactive compound with diverse biological activities, including antibiotics, antifungals, antiviral agents. Understanding the structure and function of these biosynthetic gene clusters is important for developing new pharmacological compounds. By studying these clusters, it would be beneficial in identifying the potential targets for drug development and strategies to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance. In this study, we identified biosynthetic gene clusters in Panicum virgatum. The plant possess various medicinal properties. Using KNApSAck database, we identified the secondary metabolites present in the plant. PlantiSMASH is a bioinformatics tool that can be used to identify biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in plant genomes. Using PlantiSMASH, BGCs in Panicum virgatum genomes were predicted. This study gives an insights into the secondary metabolism of Panicum virgatum, and identify potential targets for genetic engineering to improve the nutritional value or other properties of the plant. Hence, the Biosynthetic gene clusters in Panicum virgatum offer a promising avenue for improving the productivity, nutritional value, and health benefits.
