Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of TaFDL gene family responded to vernalization in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

FLOWERING LOCUS D (FD) is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor known to be crucial in vernalization, flowering, and stress response across a variety of plants, including biennial and winter annual species. The TaFD-like (TaFDL) gene in wheat is the functional homologue of Arabidopsis FD, yet research on the TaFDL gene family in wheat is still lacking.

Results

In this study, a total of 62 TaFDL gene family members were identified and classified into 4 main subfamilies, and these genes were located on 21 chromosomes. A comprehensive analysis of the basic physicochemical properties, gene structure, conservation motif, conserved domain, and advanced protein structure of TaFDL gene family revealed the conservation among its individual subfamily.
