Abstract

AP2/ERF gene family plays an important role in the development of plant. In this paper, we identified the soybean AP2/ERF gene family, analyzed its evolutionary pathway, and studied the expression pattern of its members during seed development. The results showed that the soybean AP2/ERF gene family contained 355 genes which could be classified into AP2, RAV and ERF three subfamilies, which experienced two divergence events during the soybean evolution. Seven of them were characterized associating with the differentiation between cultivated soybean and wild soybean during the domestication, and their functions were predicted by their orthologous in Arabidopsis. Ten types of expression pattern of this gene family were revealed by expression profiles during the seed development of soybean, which play various roles in the seed development.
