description The small plant-specific YABBY gene family plays key roles in diverse developmental processes in plants. <i>Dendrobium chrysotoxum</i>, <i>D. huoshanense</i>, and <i>D. nobile</i> are perennial herbaceous plants belonging to Orchidaceae with a high ornamental value. However, the relationships and specific functions of the YABBY genes in the <i>Dendrobium</i> species remain unknown. In this study, six <i>DchYABBY</i>s, nine <i>DhuYABBY</i>s, and nine <i>DnoYABBY</i>s were identified from the genome databases of the three <i>Dendrobium</i> species, which were unevenly distributed on five, eight, and nine chromosomes, respectively. The 24 YABBY genes were classified into four subfamilies (CRC/DL, INO, YAB2, and FIL/YAB3) based on their phylogenetic analysis. A sequence analysis showed that most of the YABBY proteins contained conserved C2C2 zinc-finger and YABBY domains, while a gene structure analysis revealed that 46% of the total YABBY genes contained seven exons and six introns. All the YABBY genes harbored a large number of Methyl Jasmonate responsive elements, as well as anaerobic induction <i>cis</i>-acting elements in the promoter regions. Through a collinearity analysis, one, two, and two segmental duplicated gene pairs were identified in the <i>D. chrysotoxum</i>, <i>D. huoshanense</i>, and <i>D. nobile</i> genomes, respectively. The <i>Ka/Ks</i> values of these five gene pairs were lower than 0.5, indicating that the <i>Dendrobium</i> YABBY genes underwent negative selection. In addition, an expression analysis revealed that <i>DchYABBY2</i> plays a role in ovary and early-stage petal development, while <i>DchYABBY5</i> is essential for lip development and <i>DchYABBY6</i> is crucial for early sepal formation. <i>DchYABBY1</i> primarily regulates sepals during blooming. Furthermore, there is the potential involvement of <i>DchYABBY2</i> and <i>DchYABBY5</i> in gynostemium development. The results of a comprehensive genome-wide study would provide significant clues for future functional investigations and pattern analyses of YABBY genes in different flower parts during flower development in the <i>Dendrobium</i> species.
