Genome-Wide Identification and Functional Analysis of <i>CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED</i> (<i>CLE</i>) in Three <i>Populus</i> Species.

ABSTRACT: Intercellular communication mediated by CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED (CLE) peptides and their receptors is crucial for plant development and environmental adaptation. In this study, 45 and 89 CLEs were identified in Populus tomentosa and Populus alba × Populus glandulosa, respectively, and, together with the 52 CLEs in Populus trichocarpa, the chromosome localization, gene and protein characteristics, collinearity and gene duplication events, cis-acting regulatory elements in promoters and evolutionary relationships of CLEs in these three poplar species were analyzed. The CLEs of three poplar species were divided into four subfamilies. Among them, the CLEs in subfamilies I, II and IV were A-type CLEs, while
