Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression analysis of the LIM transcription factor family in quinoa.

ABSTRACT: Lim family members play an important role in the regulation of plant cell development and stress response. However, there are few studies on LIM family in quinoa. In this study, we identified nine LIMS (named cqlim01-cqlim09) from quinoa, which were divided into three subfamilies (α Lim1, γ lim2 and δ lim2) according to phylogeny. The differences in gene structure and motif composition among different subfamilies have been observed. In addition, we studied the repetitive events of the members of the family. The Ka/Ks (non synchronous substitution rate / synchronous substitution rate) ratio analysis showed that the repetitive CqLIMs probably experienced purifying selection pressure. Promoter analysis showed that the family genes contained a variety of hormones, stress and tissue-specific ex
