Genome-wide analysis of the AP2/ERF superfamily in peach (Prunus persica)
, “Genome-wide analysis of the AP2/ERF superfamily in peach (Prunus persica)”, vol. 11, pp. 4789-4809, 2013.
We identified 131 AP2/ERF (APETALA2/ethylene-responsive factor) genes in material from peach using the gene sequences of AP2/ERF amino acids of Arabidopsis thaliana (Brassicaceae) as probes. Based on the number of AP2/ERF domains and individual gene characteristics, the AP2/ERF superfamily gene in peach can be classified broadly into three families, ERF (ethylene-responsive factor), RAV (related to ABI3/VP1), and AP2 (APETALA2), containing 104, 5, and 21 members, respectively, along with a solo gene (ppa005376m).
