Genome-wide identification and functional analysis of the GRAS gene family in Medicago lupulina L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcription factors encoded by GRAS genes play pivotal roles in a wide range of biological processes, including signal transduction, plant growth and development, and responses to various abiotic and biotic stresses. Nevertheless, to date, the GRAS gene family has not been previously identified or analyzed in Medicago lupulina L.

Results

In this study, bioinformatic approaches were used to analyze genomic data of M. lupulina obtained from our laboratory, resulting in the identification of 52 GRAS genes (designated as MlGRASs). We predicted and analyzed the physicochemical properties, subcellular localization, protein structures, phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and sequence characteristics of these genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 52 MlGRASs
