TLDR
Comparison of SbERF genes with maize ERF homologs suggests lateral gene transfer between monocot species, and can contribute to the understanting of the evolution of the ERF gene family.Abstract:
The ethylene response factor (ERF) family are members of the APETALA2 (AP2)/ERF transcription factor superfamily; they are known to play an important role in plant adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress ERF genes have been studied in Arabidopsis, rice, grape, and maize; however, there are few reports of ERF genes in sorghum We identified 105 sorghum ERF (SbERF) genes, which were categorized into 12 groups (A-1 to A-6 and B-1 to B-6) based on their sequence similarity, and this new method of classification for ERF genes was then further characterized A comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of SbERF genes was performed using a sorghum genomic database, to analyze the phylogeny of SbERF genes, identify other conserved motifs apart from the AP2/ERF domain, map SbERF genes to the 10 sorghum chromosomes, and determine the tissue-specific expression patterns of SbERF genes Gene clustering indicates that SbERF genes were generated by tandem duplications Comparison of SbERF genes with maize ERF homologs suggests lateral gene transfer between monocot species These results can contribute to our understanting of the evolution of the ERF gene familyread more

Genome-Wide Analysis of the AP2/ERF Transcription Factors Family and the Expression Patterns of DREB Genes in Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis).
TL;DR: There were fewer members of the PeDREB subfamily in moso bamboo than in other plants and there were differences in DREB gene expression profiles between leaves and roots triggered in response to abiotic stress, which may be valuable in overcoming challenges in cultivating mosoamboo.

TL;DR: Although the AP2/ERF genes have been identified, information on the physiological mechanisms of this gene family under stress conditions in rice remains limited and further physiological studies must be performed in the future to identify additional features of this crucial gene family.

TL;DR: The analysis of duplication events indicated that tandem repeat and segmental duplication contributed to the expansion of the AP2/ERF family in barley and will be useful for genome-wide analysis to determine the precise role of the HvAP2/ ERF gene during barley development, abiotic stress and phytohormone responses.
