Evolutionary Consequences of Functional and Regulatory Divergence of HD-Zip I Transcription Factors as a Source of Diversity in Protein Interaction Networks in Plants.

ABSTRACT: The HD superfamily has been studied in detail for several decades. The plant-specific HD-Zip I subfamily attracts the most attention because of its involvement in plant development and stress responses. In this review, we provide a comprehensive insight into the evolutionary events responsible for the functional redundancy and diversification of the HD-Zip I genes in regulating various biological processes. We summarized the evolutionary history of the HD-Zip family, highlighting the important role of WGDs in its expansion and divergence of retained duplicates in the genome. To determine the relationship between the evolutionary origin and functional conservation of HD-Zip I in different species, we performed a phylogenetic analysis, compared their expression profiles in different tissues
