Recent evidence suggests that LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) proteins are involved in different developmental processes of plants. Although the roles of LBD proteins in root development, leaf development and plant defense have been well summarized, their functional diversity and regulation mechanisms are still unclear. One of the reasons for the above problems is the lack of selection and classification of functional protein features of LBD genes. Combined with the existing research results, we found that LBD genes have similar features and mechanics and tend to be in the same phylogenetic branch. Research on the function of the LBD gene can expand our understanding of the diversity and function of LBD proteins. Therefore, to fully understand this large family, it is necessary to review functional studies through in-depth phylogenetic analysis of more genome-available species.
