Genome-wide analysis of the SPL/miR156 module and its interaction with the AP2/miR172 unit in barley

Abstract The SQUAMOSA-promoter binding like (SPL) gene family encodes transcription factors that have been shown in many species to influence plant growth and development, but information about these genes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is limited. This study identified 17 barley SPL genes, within e...
