Systematic Identification and Expression Analysis of the Auxin Response Factor (ARF) Gene Family in Ginkgo biloba L.

ABSTRACT: Auxin participates in various physiological and molecular response-related developmental processes and is a pivotal hormone that regulates phenotypic formation in plants. Auxin response factors (ARFs) are vital transcription factors that mediate downstream auxin signaling by explicitly binding to auxin-responsive genes' promoters. Here, to investigate the possible developmental regulatory functions of ARFs in Ginkgo biloba, through employing comprehensive bioinformatics, we recognized 15 putative GbARF members. Conserved domains and motifs, gene and protein structure, gene duplication, GO enrichment, transcriptome expression profiles, and qRT-PCR all showed that Group I and III members were highly conserved. Among them, GbARF10b and GbARF10a were revealed as tra
