Dataset Information

A multilayered cross-species analysis of GRAS transcription factors uncovered their functional networks in plant adaptation to the environment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Environmental stress is both a major force of natural selection and a prime factor affecting crop qualities and yields. The impact of the GRAS [gibberellic acid-insensitive (GAI), repressor of GA1-3 mutant (RGA), and scarecrow (SCR)] family on plant development and the potential to resist environmental stress needs much emphasis.

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the evolution, expansion, and adaptive mechanisms of GRASs of important representative plants during polyploidization.

Methods

We explored the evolutionary characteristics of GRASs in 15 representative plant species by systematic biological analysis of the genome, transcriptome, metabolite, protein complex map and phenotype.
