Abstract With the increase of global environmental degradation, environmental stresses, such as drought, salinity and low temperature, have adverse effects on plant growth and yield. Studies showed that HD-Zip I transcription factors are the relatively conservative factors which belong to the subtribe of homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) proteins and have diverse functions in biological and environmental stress response, hormones and light signal response, regulating organ development. In this study we analyzed the HD-Zip I gene family from four grasses species for which substantial information about genomes or transcriptomes was available, namely Brachypodium distachyon, Sorghum bicolor, Oryza sativa and Zea mays. The origin and evolution, and gene duplication and loss of HD-Zip I gene families in grasses were studied based on investigation of intron/exon distribution patterns, protein domains and motifs, phylogenitic relationships, intraspecies and intersepecies gene colinearity (microsynteny) as well as environmental selection pressure. Main results are as follows: 1. By searching published genome and transcriptome databases, according to the conserved domain, a total of 11, 14, 13 and 19 HD-Zip I genes were indentified in grasses Brachypodium distachyon, Sorghum bicolor, Oryza sativa and Zea mays, respectively. 2. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the 57 HD-Zip I genes from the four grass species could be clearly delineated into 5 clades. 3. By searching for intraspecies microsynteny between the genome segments of grasses, we found tha
