Identification of the YABBY Gene Family in <i>Cerasus humilis</i> and Analysis of Expression Patterns During Different Growth Stages.

ABSTRACT: YABBY belongs to the family of plant-specific transcription factors, known for their role in plant morphology, growth, and development. Its name is derived from the first discovered member-the YABBY1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana (named due to its mutated phenotype showing a "Y-shaped" bifurcation). Despite extensive research across various plant species, no studies have conducted a genome-wide investigation of the YABBY gene family in Cerasus humilis. This study identified six ChYABBY (Cerasus humilis YABBY) genes distributed across five chromosomes through a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of the C. humilis genome. The gene expression during the four growth phases was confirmed using real-time-quantitative fluorescent PCR (qPCR). ChYABBY</
