A few members of the ARF family have been functionally characterized in Arabidopsis, rice (Oryza sativa), Poplar (Populous trichocarpa). However, little is known about ARF genes in maize (Zea mays). We performed a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of the maize ARF gene family including analysis of the genome sequence, conserved domains, chromosomal locations, phylogenetic relationships, gene duplication, and expression profiles. 35 ZmARF genes were identified and categorized into four groups (Class I, II, III, and IV). In addition, a segmental ZmARF duplication event was shown to play an important role in maize ARF gene expansion. 7 ZmARF genes had no expression in specific tissues we obtained, but presented in mixed tissues according to the NCBI EST database, respectively. These studies have laid the theoretical foundation for further functional verification of these ZmARF genes.
