Identification of TALE Transcription Factor Family and Expression Patterns Related to Fruit Chloroplast Development in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).

ABSTRACT: The TALE gene family is an important transcription factor family that regulates meristem formation, organ morphogenesis, signal transduction, and fruit development. A total of 24 genes of the TALE family were identified and analyzed in tomato. The 24 SlTALE family members could be classified into five BELL subfamilies and four KNOX subfamilies. SlTALE genes were unevenly distributed on every tomato chromosome, lacked syntenic gene pairs, and had conserved structures but diverse regulatory functions. Promoter activity analysis showed that cis-elements responsive to light, phytohormone, developmental regulation, and environmental stress were enriched in the promoter of SlTALE genes, and the light response elements were the most abundant.
