It has been clarified that GeBP transcription factor regulates the growth and development of plant epidermal hair and participates in the control of plant leaf development. The bioinformatics methods were used to identify the GeBP gene family in the whole Glycin max(soybean)genome, and from physicochemical properties of amino acids, as well as gene structure, physical distribution of chromosomes, phylogenetic tree, and multiple sequence comparison, the functional domain, tissues expression and other basic characteristics of GmGeBP gene family were analyzed. The results were as follows:(1)A total of nine members of GmGeBP transcription factor gene family were identified, of which only two genes contained introns and all had only one intron, indicating that the gene structure of the family members is relatively simple but stable.(2)The molecular weights of GmGeBPs were 39.65-49.24 kD, and the theoretical isoelectric point was 4.65-9.08; these members were basically acidic amino acids, which were hydrophilic and unstable proteins.(3)The chromosome physical distribution showed that nine genes were unevenly distributed on seven chromosomes, two GeBP genes on chromosome 10 and 20 respectively, and one gene on chromosome 3, 5, 13, 15 and 19, respectively.(4)The phylogenetic analysis showed that GeBP members of Glycin max and Arabidopsis thaliana were closely related, clustered into four branches respectively, but far away from Oryza sativa.(5)The analysis of domains showed that all the nine GmGeBP members contained DUF573 domain, which was probably the domain interacting with cis-acting elements of target genes in GeBP transcription factors.(6)By analyzing the expression of GmGeBP transcription factor gene family, we found that the expressions of different genes in different tissues were different, with a certain specificity. The analysis and identification of GmGeBP transcription factor gene family provide the theoretical basis for further studying the molecular role of Glycin max epidermal development.
