摘要: APETALA2/ethylene response element binding proteins (AP2/EREBP) are a vital type of TF involved in plant organ development and embryogenesis. In this study we identified 202 Litchi AP2/EREBP TFs from the litchi genome. They were classified into four subfamilies by phylogenetic clustering, including AP2s (20), ERFs (112), DREBs (64), and RAVs (6). Analysis of conserved domains, motifs, gene structure, and genome localization were carried out to investigate the evolutionary features of litchi AP2/EREBPs. Over 35% of DREBs and ERFs involved in the expansion of litchi AP2/EREBPs resulted from tandem duplication. The majority of genomic organizations were conservative, except those of the AP2 subfamily, which had no intron and contained less conservative motif numbers. The expression profiles of litchi AP2/EREBPs in ten tissues were investigated using RNA-Seq data and fifty-nine showed tissue-specific expressions. Their expression patterns were confirmed by qRT-PCR with eight tissues-specificity genes. Six genes related to embryogenesis were identified using the map of orthologous gene interaction between Arabidopsis and litchi. This paper is a comprehensive report on the characteristics of the litchi AP2/EREBP gene superfamily. It will serve to further explore the regulatory mechanisms of AP2/EREBP TFs in the litchi somatic embryogenesis and provide information for litchi molecular breeding.
