Comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the GmFRIGIDA gene family in soybean: identification, characterization, and expression dynamics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frigida (FRI) genes are crucial for regulating flowering time in plants. While the biological importance of the Frigida-like (FRL) gene family has been recognized in Arabidopsis, a systematic analysis of these genes in soybean is lacking. Characterizing FRL genes in soybean will help uncover their roles in flowering regulation, offering valuable insights for improving soybean adaptation.

Results

In this study, we identified 16 Frigida genes in soybean, naming them based on their relationship to the FRL genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. These genes are unevenly distributed across thirteen chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis categorizes Frigida-like proteins from Arabidopsis, soybean, and rice into fo
