Genome-wide identification, phylogeny and expression analysis of AP2/ERF transcription factors family in Brachypodium distachyon

This study for the first time reported the characteristics of the BdAP2/ERF family, which will provide the invaluable information for further evolutionary and functional studies of AP2/ERF in Brachypodium, and also contribute to better understanding the molecular basis for development and stresses tolerance in this model species and beyond.
