The Identification and Characterization of the <i>PeGRF</i> Gene Family in <i>Populus euphratica</i> Oliv. Heteromorphic Leaves Provide a Theoretical Basis for the Functional Study of <i>PeGRF9</i>.

ABSTRACT: Populus euphratica Oliv. typically has four kinds of heteromorphic leaves: linear (Li), lanceolate (La), ovate (Ov) and broad ovate (Bo). Heteromorphic leaves help P. euphratica adapt to extreme desert environments and further contribute to protection against land desertification in Northwest China. In the authors' previous research, growth-regulating factors (GRFs) were speculated to be related to the development of P. euphratica heteromorphic leaves via multi-omics integrated analysis. However, the genomic features and biological role of the P. euphratica GRF gene family in heteromorphic leaves are still unclear. In this study, 19 PeGRF genes were genome-widely identified and characterized in P. euphratica, and their physicochemical properties, g
