Comparative analysis of the SPL genes among four Ipomoea species and the evidence for a role of some IbSPLs in storage root development in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas)
Abstract:Background
As a major family of plant-specific transcription factors, SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) genes play crucial regulatory roles in plant growth, development, and stress tolerance. SPL transcription factor family has been widely studied in various plant species, however, there are no systematic studies on SPL genes in genus Ipomoea.
Results
In this study, a total of 29, 27, 26, 23 SPL genes were identified in Ipomoea batatas, Ipomoea trifida, Ipomoea triloba, and Ipomoea nil, respective… Show more
