Popis: Abstract Background CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 like (CCA1L) proteins are important components that participate in plant growth and development, and now have been characterized in multiple plant species. However, information on mungbean CCA1L genes is limited. Results In this study, we identified 27 VrCCA1L genes from the mungbean genome. VrCCA1L genes were unevenly distributed on 10 of the 11 chromosomes and showed one tandem and two interchromosomal duplication events. Two distinct kinds of conserved MYB domains, MYB 1 and MYB 2, were found, and the conserved SHAQK(Y/F) F sequence was found at the C terminus of each MYB 2 domain. The VrCCA1Ls displayed a variety of exon-intron organizations, and 24 distinct motifs were found among these genes. Based on phylogenetic analysis, VrCCA1L proteins were classified into five groups; group I contained the most members, with 11 VrCCA1Ls. VrCCA1L promoters contained different types and numbers of cis-acting elements, and VrCCA1Ls showed different expression levels in different tissues. The VrCCA1Ls also displayed distinct expression patterns under different photoperiod conditions throughout the day in leaves. VrCCA1L26 shared greatest homology to Arabidopsis CCA1 and LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY). It delayed the flowering time in Arabidopsis by affecting the expression levels of CONSTANS (CO), FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), and SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (SOC1). Conclusion We identified and characterized 27 VrCCA1L genes from mungbean genome, and investigated their spatio-temporal expression patterns. Further analysis revealed that VrCCA1L26 delayed flowering time in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Our results provide useful information for further functional characterization of the VrCCA1L genes.
