Genes from the plant specific Lateral Organ Boundaries Domain (LBD) family encode transcriptional regulators that have a variety of functions in various physiological and developmental processes. In the present study, 31 LBD genes were identified in the mulberry genome. The genome features of all MnLBD genes and phylogenetic studies with Arabidopsis LBD protein sequences, accompanied by the expression analysis of each of the Morus LBD genes provide insights into the functional prediction of mulberry LBDs. The genome-wide surveys of the current mulberry genome have resulted in the identification of catalogs of MnLBD genes that may function in the development of leaf, root, and secondary metabolism in Morus sp.
来自植物特有的侧生器官边界结构域（LBD）家族的基因编码转录调节因子，这些调节因子在各种生理和发育过程中具有多种功能。在本研究中，在桑树基因组中鉴定出31个LBD基因。所有MnLBD基因的基因组特征以及与拟南芥LBD蛋白序列的系统发育研究，再结合对每个桑树LBD基因的表达分析，为桑树LBD的功能预测提供了见解。目前对桑树基因组的全基因组调查已鉴定出可能在桑属植物的叶、根发育和次生代谢中发挥作用的MnLBD基因目录。
