The gibberellic acid-stimulated () gene family plays an important regulatory role in the growth and development of plants. In this study, we identified 19 genes using bioinformatics-based methods in , and these genes could be divided into three categories based on their phylogenetic relationships. Based on an analysis of the structure and motifs of these genes, it was concluded that class II members are more conserved than class I and class III members are, and the results of collinearity analysis showed that members of class II are collinearly related in poplar. Expression analysis of roots, stems, and leaves showed that most of the genes are expressed at higher levels in the stems or roots than in the leaves; a similar expression pattern was found in , indicating that the -family members mainly play a role in the morphogenesis of poplar. Considering the phenomenon of gene amplification, we found that the higher the similarity of homologous genes was, the more similar the expression patterns. This study represents the first whole-genome identification and expression-profile analysis of the -gene family in poplar, a model species, laying a foundation for functional studies of poplar genes and serving as a reference for related research on other woody plant species.
赤霉素刺激的()基因家族在植物的生长和发育中起着重要的调节作用。本研究采用生物信息学方法在中鉴定了 19 个基因,这些基因可以根据系统发育关系分为三类。基于对这些基因结构和基序的分析,得出结论:类 II 成员比类 I 和类 III 成员更保守,共线性分析的结果表明,杨树中的类 II 成员在共线性上是相关的。对根、茎和叶的表达分析表明,大多数在茎或根中的表达水平高于叶;在中也发现了类似的表达模式,表明 -家族成员主要在杨树的形态发生中发挥作用。考虑到基因扩增的现象,我们发现同源基因的相似度越高,表达模式越相似。本研究代表了杨树这一模式物种中 -基因家族的全基因组鉴定和表达谱分析的首次研究,为杨树 -基因的功能研究奠定了基础,并为其他木本植物物种的相关研究提供了参考。
