The in silico studies were undertaken to demonstrate the genetic relatedness amid Poaceae family members viz; edible bamboo, wheat and sugarcane. Indigenous anti-oxidative plant systems consisting of enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic antioxidant mechanisms, subdue stressed environmental situations as free radicals or reactive oxygen species dependent oxidative stress is correlated with adverse environment. In silico anti-oxidative enzymes viz. Catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), Superoxide dismutase [SOD] (EC 1.15.1.1) and Glutathione peroxidise [GPX] (EC 1.11.1.9) in Bambusa oldhamii, Saccharum officinarum and Triticum aestivum were investigated for the molecular relatedness. The FASTA sequences of target proteins were harnessed for sequence alignment by Clustalw2 and MEGA 6.0 software for evolut... view more»
