YABBY gene family is one of the plant transcription factors. The aim of this study was to characterize and define the YABBY gene family members in silico,
in Eucalyptus grandis genome. In this study, various in silico methods was used. A total of 6 Egra-YABBY proteins were discovered in Eucalyptus grandis
genome. The molecular weight and length of these proteins ranged from 18.39 kDa to 32.38 kDa and based from 168 to 290 amino acids. Isoelectric points (pIs) of YABBY proteins
were between 5.54 (Egra-YABBY- 2) and 9.92 (Egra-YABBY- 6). The estimated number of exons found among the Egra-YABBY genes was the lowest of 6 and the highest of 7. The results
of the phylogenetic analysis showed that YABBY proteins
of Eucalyptus grandis, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Vitis vinifera
were clustered into 5 main groups (FIL, INO, CRC, YAB2 ve YAB5). Segmental duplication was detected
between the Egra-YABBY-4/Egra-YABBY-5 genes. Expression profiles of Egra-YABBY genes have revealed that these genes are expressed
in different tissues and can function
in a variety of physiological processes during plant development. The results of this study will provide
potential biotechnological resources and additional information for further understanding of the molecular bases of the YABBY gene family
in the eucalyptus plant.
