摘要： Background: Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) is a key enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway that regulates anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin accumulation in plants. Although DFR genes have been studied in various species, their origin of the DFR gene family, its distribution across the plant kingdom, and the reasons behind the emergence of different DFR subtypes Methods: This study performed a whole-genome analysis of DFR genes in 237 plant species, including algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms, integrating phylogeny, conserved motifs, duplication mechanisms, positive selection, and expression pattern analyses. Results: These results indicate that the DFR gene family originated from the common ancestor of extant ferns and seed plants, and the emergence of asparagine (Asn)-type and aspartic (Asp)-type DFRs is associated with gymnosperms. Notably, we report for the first time the presence of Asn-type, Asp-type, and arginine (Arg)-type DFRs in some species, which breaks the previous notion that Arg-type DFRs are exclusive to ferns. Tandem duplication is considered the primary driving force behind the expansion of the DFR family and is associated with the formation of different DFR subtypes. Furthermore, Asn-type DFRs were highly expressed during the early stages of seed development, suggesting their important role in seed development. Conclusions: Overall, this study revealed the dynamic evolutionary trajectory of the DFR gene family in plants, providing a theoretical foundation for future research on DFR genes.
