Genome-wide identification of growth-regulating factor transcription factor family related to leaf and stem development in alfalfa.

ABSTRACT: Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) play crucial roles in plant growth and stress response. To date, there have been no reports of the analysis and identification of the GRF transcription factor family in alfalfa. In this study, we identified 27 GRF family members from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) "Xinjiang Daye", and analyzed their physicochemical properties. Based on phylogenetic analysis, these MsGRFs were divided into five subgroups, each with a similar gene structure and conserved motifs. MsGRFs genes are distributed on 23 chromosomes, and all contain QLQ and WRC conserved domains. The results of the collinearity analysis showed that all MsGRFs are involved in gene duplication, including multiple whole-genome duplication or segmental duplication and a set of t
