Genome-wide identification of growth-regulating factors in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis): in silico and experimental analyses.

ABSTRACT: Growth-regulating factor (GRF), a small plant-specific transcription factor (TF) family, is extensively involved in the regulation of growth and developmental processes. However, the GRF family has not been comprehensively studied in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), a typical non-timber forest member. Here, 18 GRF genes were identified and characterized from the moso bamboo genome, and they clustered into three subfamilies (A, B and C). PeGRF genes were analyzed to determine their gene structures, conserved motifs and promoter. The non-synonymous/synonymous substitution ratios of paralogous and orthologous were less than 1, indicating that the GRF family mainly experienced purifying selection during evolution. According to the analysis of tissue-specific expression
