Identification of TIFY Family Genes and Analysis of Their Expression Profiles in Response to Phytohormone Treatments and Melampsora larici-populina Infection in Poplar.

ABSTRACT: The TIFY domain contains approximately 36 conserved amino acids that form the core motif TIF[F/Y]XG, and they were reported to play important roles in plant growth, tissue development and defense regulation. Moreover, more and more evidence has shown that some members of the TIFY gene family perform their functions by modulating plant hormone signaling pathways. Poplar trees are found worldwide, and they comprise approximately 30 species. Benefit from the importance of poplar and its advanced platform, this tree is considered to be the model perennial plant. Here, we conducted a genome-wide identification of TIFY genes in poplar, and 24 TIFY genes were found. These 24 TIFY genes were assigned to different subfamilies according to the presence or absence of domains and motifs that they harb
