Genome-wide identification and expression profile analysis of TALE superfamily genes under hormone and abiotic stress in maize (<i>Zea may</i> L.).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The three-amino-acid-loop-extension (TALE) of the homeobox superfamily genes plays important roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stress. Although TALE members have been identified in various species, they have not been systematically characterized in maize and their expression profiles under ABA hormone and abiotic stress are unknown.

Methods

Bioinformatics methods were employed to identify the TALE family genes in the maize genome. The expression levels of ZmTALEs under ABA, salt, drought, and high temperature conditions was detected by qRT-PCR. The subcellular localization of ZmKNOX05 and ZmBELL11 proteins was observed in maize protoplasts.

Results

In this study, we identified 52 TALE members in maize, which can be
