Abstract:
The GOLDEN2-LIKE (G2-like) gene family members provide significant contributions to the growth and development of plants. In this study, a total of 76 wheat G2-like gene family members (TaG1-TaG76) were detected in the wheat genome and were categorized into three groups (including six subgroups) based on the gene structure and protein motif analyses. These genes were unevenly distributed in 19 of 21 wheat chromosomes. A total of 63 segmental duplication pairs of TaG2-like genes were identified in the wheat genome. The expression levels of all the TaG2-like genes indicated that TaG2-like genes showed different expression patterns in various organs and tissues. Moreover, the transcriptions of TaG2-like genes were significantly affected under abiotic stress (cold, ABA, NaCl, and PEG). This study offered valuable insights into the functional characterization of TaG2-like genes in wheat.

Overview of Transposition and Recombination
Bacterial Transcription
Transcription can be divided into three main stages, each involving distinct DNA sequences to guide the polymerase. These are:
Gene Regulation During Sporulation
General Transcription Factors
Gene Duplication and Divergence
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...
Combinatorial Gene Control
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
