Genome-Wide Analysis of Soybean Lateral Organ Boundaries Domain Gene Family Reveals the Role in Phytophthora Root and Stem Rot.

ABSTRACT: The plant-specific lateral organ boundaries (LOB) domain (LBD) proteins, a family of transcription factors, play important roles in plant growth and development, as well as in responses to various stresses. However, little is known about the functions of LBD genes in soybean (Glycine max). In this study, we investigated the evolution and classification of the LBD family in soybean by a phylogenetic tree of the LBD gene family from 16 species. Phylogenetic analysis categorized these proteins into two classes (Class I and Class II) with seven subgroups. Moreover, we found that all the 18 LBD ancestors in angiosperm were kept in soybean, common bean genomes, and genome-wide duplication, suggesting the main force for the expansion of LBD from common bean to soybean.
