Eucalyptus Grandis AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE Gene Family Identification and Characterization

19 AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) gene family members were identified in the Eucalyptus grandis genome using bioinformatics methods. The study, authored by Jiahao Zeng and last updated in May 2026, includes phylogenetic analysis, cis-element prediction, and expression profiling. It provides a foundation for understanding gene functions related to embryogenesis and stress tolerance.

Use Cases

• Comparative phylogenetic analysis based on the identified 19 EgAIL genes and their relationship to Populus trichocarpa.
• Predicting gene regulatory functions based on cis-acting element analysis mentioned in the description.
• Investigating candidate genes for salt tolerance based on the identification of EgAIL3 as a positive regulator.
• Studying tissue-specific gene expression patterns based on the predicted role of EgAIL16 in root and leaf development.

Strengths

• Identifies 19 specific gene members (EgAIL1A–EgAIL16) with a characterized AP2 conserved domain.
• Includes multiple analytical layers: phylogenetic grouping into five subgroups, cis-element analysis, and expression profiling.
• Provides a specific functional prediction for two genes (EgAIL3 for salt tolerance, EgAIL16 for development).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 15.4 KB DOCX file, indicating limited raw data scope, likely a summary document.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Row count and data structure are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for computational analysis.
