Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION (CLE) Gene Family in Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.).

ABSTRACT: The CLAVATA3/EMBRYO-SURROUNDING REGION (CLE) genes encode signaling peptides that play important roles in various developmental and physiological processes. However, the systematic identification and characterization of CLE genes in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) remain limited. In this study, we identified and characterized 41 SiCLE genes in the foxtail millet genome. These genes were distributed across nine chromosomes and classified into four groups, with five pairs resulting from gene duplication events. SiCLE genes within the same phylogenetic group shared similar gene structure and motif patterns, while 34 genes were found to be single-exon genes. All SiCLE peptides harbored the conserved C-terminal CLE domain, with highly conserved positions i
