This study provides an in silico survey of cassava’s YABBY transcription factor family. Various computational tools have investigated the identification, annotation, physio-chemical characteristics and expression profile of the YABBY proteins in cassava. As a result, a total of 13 members of the YABBY transcription factor family, namely from MeYABBY01 to MeYABBY13, has been comprehensively identified and annotated in the recent cassava assembly. All MeYABBY proteins exhibited highly variable common features, such as length, mass, isoelectric point, aliphatic index, instability index and grand average of hydropathicity. Based on the transcriptomic analysis, our results indicated that five MeYABBY genes, including MeYABBY01, MeYABBY06, MeYABBY08, MeYABBY09, and MeYABBY13 were highly expressed in at least one main organ/tissue in cassava plants. Taken together, this comprehensive evaluation of the YABBY transcription factor family in the cassava assembly can be used to develop a detailed understanding of the potential functions of the MeYABBY proteins in this important crop species.

This study provides an in silico survey of cassava’s YABBY transcription factor family. Various computational tools have investigated the identification, annotation, physio-chemical characteristics and expression profile of the YABBY proteins in cassava. As a result, a total of 13 members of the YABBY transcription factor family, namely from MeYABBY01 to MeYABBY13, has been comprehensively identified and annotated in the recent cassava assembly. All MeYABBY proteins exhibited highly variable common features, such as length, mass, isoelectric point, aliphatic index, instability index and grand average of hydropathicity. Based on the transcriptomic analysis, our results indicated that five MeYABBY genes, including MeYABBY01, MeYABBY06, MeYABBY08, MeYABBY09, and MeYABBY13 were highly expressed in at least one main organ/tissue in cassava plants. Taken together, this comprehensive evaluation of the YABBY transcription factor family in the cassava assembly can be used to develop a detailed understanding of the potential functions of the MeYABBY proteins in this important crop species.
