Genome-wide characterization of the MADS-box gene family in Paeonia ostii and expression analysis of genes related to floral organ development.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Paeonia section Moutan DC. is a significant perennial subshrub, the ornamental value of which heavily depends on the type of flower it possesses. MADS-box transcription factors have a particular impact on the intricate process of floral organ development and differentiation. The release of the whole-genome data from Paeonia ostii now allows us to conduct a thorough investigation of the tree peony MADS-box gene family.

Results

In this study, we identified 110 MADS-box genes in Paeonia ostii that were classified into 5 subgroups. Gene structure, domain and motif analyses revealed the conservation of the structure of these subgroups. Analysis of the cis-acting elements revealed that the 110 PoMADS genes contained different kinds of hormones and stress-related cis-act
