Whole-genome and dispersed duplication, including transposed duplication, jointly advance the evolution of TLP genes in seven representative Poaceae lineages.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the evolutionary study of gene families, exploring the duplication mechanisms of gene families helps researchers understand their evolutionary history. The tubby-like protein (TLP) family is essential for growth and development in plants and animals. Much research has been done on its function; however, limited information is available with regard to the evolution of the TLP gene family. Herein, we systematically investigated the evolution of TLP genes in seven representative Poaceae lineages.

Results

Our research showed that the evolution of TLP genes was influenced not only by whole-genome duplication (WGD) and dispersed duplication (DSD) but also by transposed duplication (TRD), which has been neglected in previous research. For TLP family size, we found an
