Origin, Expansion, and Divergence of ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3)/EIN3-LIKE Transcription Factors During Streptophytes Evolution.

ABSTRACT: The transition of plants to land required several regulatory adaptive mechanisms. Little is known about these mechanisms, but they no doubt involved the evolution of transcription factor (TF) families. ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3)/EIN3-LIKE (EIL) transcription factors (TFs) are core components of the ethylene signaling pathway that play important roles in almost every aspect of plant development and environmental responses by regulating the transcription of numerous genes. However, the evolutionary history of EIN3/EIL TFs, which are present in a wide range of streptophytes, is still not clear. Here, to explore the evolution and functions of EIN3/EIL TFs, we performed phylogenetic analysis of these TFs and investigated their gene and protein structures as well as sequence features. Our res
