Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Soybean <i>GmLOR</i> Gene Family and Expression Analysis in Response to Abiotic Stresses

The LOR (<i>LURP</i>-one related) family genes encode proteins containing a conserved LOR domain. Several members of the LOR family genes are required for defense against <i>Hyaloperonospora parasitica</i> (<i>Hpa</i>) in Arabidopsis. However, there are few report...

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Soybean <i>GmLOR</i> Gene Family and Expression Analysis in Response to Abiotic Stresses
description The LOR (<i>LURP</i>-one related) family genes encode proteins containing a conserved LOR domain. Several members of the LOR family genes are required for defense against <i>Hyaloperonospora parasitica</i> (<i>Hpa</i>) in Arabidopsis. However, there are few reports of LOR genes in response to abiotic stresses in plants. In this study, a genome-wide survey and expression levels in response to abiotic stresses of 36 LOR genes from <i>Glycine max</i> were conducted. The results indicated that the <i>GmLOR</i> gene family was divided into eight subgroups, distributed on 14 chromosomes. A majority of members contained three extremely conservative motifs. There were four pairs of tandem duplicated <i>GmLORs</i> and nineteen pairs of segmental duplicated genes identified, which led to the expansion of the number of <i>GmLOR</i> genes. The expansion patterns of the <i>GmLOR</i> family were mainly segmental duplication. A heatmap of soybean LOR family genes showed that 36 <i>GmLOR</i> genes exhibited various expression patterns in different tissues.
