The Identification and Expression Analysis of the Liriodendron chinense F-Box Gene Family

The F-box gene family is one of the largest gene families in plants, and it plays a crucial role in regulating plant development, reproduction, cellular protein degradation, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Despite their significance, a comprehensive analysis of the F-box gene family in Liriodendron chinense and other magnoliaceae species has not been reported. In this study, we report for the first time the identification of 144 full-length F-box genes in L. chinense. Based on specific domains and phylogenetic analyses, these genes were divided into 10 distinct subfamilies. We further analyzed their gene structure, conserved domain and chromosome distribution, genome-wide replication events, and collinearity. Additionally, based on GO analysis, we found that F-box genes exhibit functional specificity, with a significant proportion of them being involved in protein binding (GO:0005515), suggesting that F-box genes may play an important role in gene regulation in L. chinense. Transcriptome data and q-PCR results also showed that F-box genes are involved in the development of multiple tissues in L. chinense, regulate the somatic embryogenesis of Liriodendron hybrids, and play a pivotal role in abiotic stress. Altogether, these findings provide a foundation for understanding the biological function of F-box genes in L. chinense and other plant species.
