Abstract:	In eukaryotes, proteins encoded by the14-3-3genes are ubiquitously involved in the plant growth and development. The14-3-3gene family has been identified in several plants. In the present study, we identified 22GmGF14genes in the soybean genomic data. On the basis of the evolutionary analysis, they were clustered into and non- groups. TheGmGF14sof two groups were highly conserved in motifs and gene structures. RNA-seq analysis suggested thatGmGF14genes were the major regulator of soybean morphogenesis. Moreover, the expression level of mostGmGF14schanged obviously in multiple stress responses (drought, salt and cold), suggesting that they have the abilities of responding to multiple stresses. Taken together, this study shows that soybean14-3-3sparticipate in plant growth and can response to various environmental stresses. These results provide important information for further understanding of the functions of14-3-3genes in soybean.
