Abstract
Cellulose is the main component of the plant cell walls, and it is the polysaccharide that is the most widely distributed and abundanted in nature. So far, some cellulase genes have been sequenced. In this article, I build cellulose gene family in four grasses through genetic similarity, then I do phylogenetic analysis from the aspects of the GC content, phylogenetic trees, nucleotide substitution rates and so on in order to further clarify the evolution of cellulose gene family in grasses. Research shows that grass cellulose gene family has the high GC content (about 81.3%), and that is mainly affected by the negative selection.
