Genome-Wide Investigation of <i>MADS-Box</i> Genes in Flower Development and Environmental Acclimation of <i>Lumnitzera littorea</i> (Jack) Voigt.

ABSTRACT: Lumnitzera littorea (Jack) Voigt is an endangered mangrove species in China. Low fecundity and environmental pressure are supposed to be key factors limiting the population expansion of L. littorea. Transcription factors with the MADS-box domain are crucial regulators of plant flower development, reproduction, and stress response. In this study, we performed a comprehensive investigation into the features and functions of MADS-box genes of L. littorea. Sixty-three LlMADS genes with similar structure and motif composition were identified in the L. littorea genome, and these genes were unevenly distributed on the 11 chromosomes. Segmental duplication was suggested to make a main contribution to the expansion of the LlMADS gene family. Some
