Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Aux/IAA and Auxin Response Factor Gene Family in Medicago truncatula
Aux/IAA and auxin response transcription factor (ARF) genes are key regulators of auxin responses in plants. A total of 25 MtIAA and 40 MtARF genes were identified based on the latest updated Medicago truncatula reference genome sequence. They were clustered into 10 and 8 major groups, respectively....

description | Aux/IAA and auxin response transcription factor (ARF) genes are key regulators of auxin responses in plants. A total of 25 MtIAA and 40 MtARF genes were identified based on the latest updated Medicago truncatula reference genome sequence. They were clustered into 10 and 8 major groups, respectively. The homologs among M. truncatula, soybean, and Arabidopsis thaliana shared close relationships based on phylogenetic analysis. Gene structure analysis revealed that MtIAA and MtARF genes contained one to four concern motifs and they are localized to eight chromosomes, except chromosome 6 without MtARFs. In addition, some MtIAA and MtARF genes were expressed in all tissues, while others were specifically expressed in specific tissues. Analysis of cis-acting elements in promoter region and expression profiles revealed the potential response of MtIAA and MtARF genes to hormones and abiotic stresses. The prediction protein–protein interaction network showed that some ARF proteins could interact with multiple Aux/IAA proteins, and the reverse is also true. The investigation provides valuable, basic information for further studies on the biological functions of MtIAA and MtARF genes in the regulation of auxin-related pathways in M. truncatula. |
