Genome-Wide Identification of Homeodomain Leucine Zipper (HD-ZIP) Transcription Factor, Expression Analysis, and Protein Interaction of HD-ZIP IV in Oil Palm Somatic Embryogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying somatic embryogenesis is essential for resolving the problems related to the long duration of the process and a low rate of somatic embryo induction in oil palm tissue culture. In this study, we conducted genome-wide identification of the oil palm homeodomain leucine zipper (EgHD-ZIP) family, which is one of the plant-specific transcription factors reported to be involved in embryogenesis. EgHD-ZIP proteins can be divided into four subfamilies, which have similarities in gene structure and protein-conserved motifs within a group. In silico expression analysis showed that the expression of EgHD-ZIP gene members in the EgHD-ZIP I and II families, as well as most members in the EgHD-ZIP IV family, were up-regulated
