Genome-Wide Comparative Analysis of the Fasciclin-like Arabinogalactan Proteins (FLAs) in Salicacea and Identification of Secondary Tissue Development-Related Genes.

ABSTRACT: Fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs) are a subclass of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) containing both AGP-like glycated domains and fasciclin (FAS) domains, which are involved in plant growth and development and synthesis of the cell wall. However, these proteins have not been identified or analyzed in willow, Salix, the sister genus of Populus. In this study, we performed a whole genome study of the FLA gene family of Salix suchowensis and compared it with the FLA gene family of Populus deltoides. The results showed the presence of 40 and 46 FLA genes in P. deltoides and S. suchowensis, distributed on 17 and 16 chromosomes, respectively. Four pairs of tandem repeat genes were found in willow, while poplar had no tandem repeat genes. Twe
