Background  Soybean, a major legume crop native to East Asia, presents a wealth of resources for utilization. The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play important roles in various biological processes including developmental regulation and responses to environmental stress stimuli. Currently, little information is available regarding the bZIP family in the legume crop soybean.    Results  Using a genome-wide domain analysis, we identified 160  GmbZIP  genes in soybean genome, named from  GmbZIP1  to  GmbZIP160 . These 160 GmbZIP  genes, distributed unevenly across 20 chromosomes, were grouped into 12 subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis. Gene structure and conserved motif analyses showed that  GmbZIP  within the same subfamily shared similar intron-exon organizations and motif composition. Syntenic and phylogenetic analyses identified 40  Arabidopsis bZIP  genes and 83 soybean  bZIP  genes as orthologs. By investigating the expression profiling of  GmbZIP  in different tissues and under drought and flooding stresses, we showed that a majority of  GmbZIP  (83.44%) exhibited transcript abundance in all examined tissues and 75.6% displayed transcript changes after drought and flooding treatment, suggesting that  GmbZIP  may play a broad role in soybean development and response to water stress.    Conclusions  One hundred sixty  GmbZIP  genes were identified in soybean genome. Our results provide insights for the evolutionary history of bZIP family in soybean and shed light on future studies on the function of  bZIP  genes in response to water stress in soybean.
