Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of the MADS-box gene family in Lavandula angustifolia
The identification and comprehensive characterization of 173 MADS-box genes in L. angustifolia highlight the significant expansion of the MIKC<sup>C</sup> subgroup driven primarily by WGD and segmental duplications. The distinct structural features and specific expression patterns observed provide insights into the functional divergence and complexity of these genes, particularly regarding floral organogenesis and adaptation to environmental stress. This study establishes a robust molecular basis for further functional analysis and genetic improvement of aromatic plants.
