Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of LBD Gene Family in Neolamarckia cadamba.

ABSTRACT: Lateral Organ Boundaries Domain (LBD) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors characterized by a typical N-terminal LOB domain and are critical for plant growth, development, and stress response. Currently, LBD genes have been investigated in various plant species, but they have yet to be identified in Neolamarckia cadamba, known as a 'miracle tree' for its fast growth and acknowledged for its potential medicinal value in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia. In this study, a total of 65 NcLBD members were identified in N. cadamba by whole-genome bioinformatics analysis. Phylogenetic analysis revealed their classification into two clades with seven distinct groups, and their uneven distribution across 18 chromosomes, along with 6 tandem repeats and 58 segme
