The phylogenetic relationship among the seven deoxycytidine/cytidine deaminase genes and the expression of these genes in different tissues and under different stresses were analyzed. Realtime PCR analysis showed that the seven genes had different expression characteristics in roots, stems and leaves with relative high expression levels in leaves and low expression levels in rice stems. Furthermore, the expression of most genes was stressinduced including chillness, drought, salination and disease infection, but only the expression of Os07g0245100 was induced by all four stresses. Our results demonstrated that the deoxycytidine/cytidine deaminase genes might play an important role in abiotic and biotic responses.
