Identification and expression profiles of the YABBY transcription factors in wheat.

ABSTRACT:

Background

YABBY is a plant-specific transcription factor (TF) that belongs to the zinc finger protein superfamily and is composed of a C2-C2 domain at the N-terminus and a YABBY domain at the C-terminus. It plays a role in plant development and growth.

Methods

In this study, 20 YABBY TFs were identified in the wheat genome. Phylogenetic relationships, collinearity relationships, gene structures, conserved motifs, and expression patterns were analyzed.

Results

Twenty TaYABBY TFs were distributed unevenly on 15 chromosomes. Collinearity analysis showed that these genes have a close relationship with monocot plants. The phylogenetic tree of wheat YABBYs classified these TaYABBYs into FIL, YAB2, INO, and CRC clades. Gene structure and conserved motif analyses showed that
