The homeodomain-leucine zipper protein(HD-Zip) is a specific transcription factor in higher plants and has been further classified into four subfamilies from Ⅰ~Ⅳ. HD-Zip Ⅳ transcription factors play a major role in developmental regulation of epidermal structures. Although this gene family has been extensively investigated in several plant species, no systematic analysis of HD-Zip Ⅳ genes has been carried out in cotton. Here, we performed a genome-wide survey and identified 15, 12, 14 HD-Zip Ⅳ genes in G. h...
