In silico genome-wide identification and comprehensive characterization of the BES1 gene family in soybean.

ABSTRACT: The BES1 transcription factor family play a central role in brassinosteroid signaling pathway that regulates a wide range of plant growth and developmental processes, as well as resistances to various stresses. However, no comprehensive study of the BES1 gene family in soybean has been reported. In this work, 16 GmBES1-like genes were identified in soybean, which could be divided into two clades based on their phylogenetic relationships, gene structures and motif compositions. We then examined their duplication status and evolutionary models. The result showed that most of the GmBES1-like genes have duplicated counterparts generated from the recent Glycine WGD event, and these genes are originated from 6 distinct ancestors before the Gamma WGT event. We further
