Genome-wide identification of Apetala2 gene family in Hypericum perforatum L and expression profiles in response to different abiotic and hormonal treatments.

ABSTRACT: The Apetala2 (AP2) gene family of transcription factors (TFs) play important functions in plant development, hormonal response, and abiotic stress. To reveal the biological functions and the expression profiles of AP2 genes in Hypericum perforatum, genome-wide identification of HpAP2 family members was conducted.

Methods

We identified 21 AP2 TFs in H. perforatum using bioinformatic methods; their physical and chemical properties, gene structures, conserved motifs, evolutionary relationships, cis-acting elements, and expression patterns were investigated.

Results

We found that based on the structural characteristics and evolutionary relationships, the HpAP2 gene family can be divided into three subclasses: euANT, baselANT, and euAP2. A canoni
