Genome-wide identification, expression patterns and functional analysis of TALE (Three Amino-Acid Loop Extension) transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Members of the TALE gene family play a crucial part as transcription factors, governing flower organs development, organ morphogenesis, flower meristem organization, and the development of fruits. However, detailed genome-wide study and functional analysis of TALE transcription factors has not yet been conducted in the model plant A. thaliana.

Results

A total of 21 genes belonging to the A. thaliana TALE gene family was identified, separated into two subfamilies (BELL and KNOX), and analyzed using bioinformatics methods, providing a theoretical basis for functional research and application of A. thaliana TALE genes. TALE genes were found on four chromosomes in A. thaliana. The A. thaliana TALE genes exhibited structural heterogeneity. All AtTALEs possessed a BELL
