A fine-tuned RNA interference (RNAi) pathway has been developed by plants to restrain distinct biological processes in various life stages including stress responses, development and maintenance of genome integrity. The Dicer-Like (DCL) proteins starts the RNAi process by producing complementary double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) into small RNA duplexes (21-24 nucleotides) trigger the RNAi process. Nevertheless, these members of RNAi pathway have not been deciphered in one of the most economically important plant coffee ( Coffea arabica ). Therefore, it is of interest to report the identification and phylogenetic analysis of the DCL genes in C. arabica. We report 5 DCL genes and categorized them into three significant groups to interpret the evolutionary relationship with DCLs of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana . Moreover, the subcellular location of the reported DCL proteins and the associated cis-acting regulatory elements were also identified and discussed in this report. The cis-regulatory elements indicated the biological and molecular functional diversity of the identified DCL genes related with plant growth and development. The present findings will provide a better basis for further experimental research on RNAi pathway genes in C. arabica.
