Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the BZR Transcription Factor Gene Family in <i>Leymus chinensis</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

The BZR gene family, a critical transcription factor in the brassinosteroid (BR) signaling pathway, regulates plant growth and development. Despite its significance, the BZR gene family in Leymus chinensis, a valuable forage grass renowned for its stress tolerance and nutritional quality, remains uncharacterized, and its functional roles are largely unexplored.

Methods

Employing advanced bioinformatics tools, we conducted a genome-wide survey to identify members of the BZR gene family in L. chinensis. Phylogenetic analyses were performed to classify these genes into distinct clades, while gene structure and conserved motif analyses assessed their evolutionary conservation and potential regulatory mechanisms. Additionally, transcriptome seq
