Genome-Wide Identification and Evolutionary Analysis of Functional BBM-like Genes in Plant Species.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: BABY BOOM (BBM), a transcription factor from the APETALA2 (AP2) protein family, plays a critical role in somatic embryo induction and apomixis. BBM has now been widely applied to induce apomixis or enhance plant transformation and regeneration efficiency through overexpression or ectopic expression. However, the structural and functional evolutionary history of BBM genes in plants is still not well understood. Methods: The protein sequences of 10 selected plant species were used to locate the branch of BBM-Like by key domain identification and phylogenetic tree construction. The identified BBML genes were used for further conserved motif identification, gene structural analysis, miRNA binding site prediction, cis-acting element pred
