Genome-Wide Identification of the MADS-Box Gene Family during Male and Female Flower Development in Chayote (Sechium edule).

ABSTRACT: The MADS-box gene plays an important role in plant growth and development. As an important vegetable of Cucurbitaceae, chayote has great edible and medicinal value. So far, there is little molecular research on chayote, and there are no reports on the MADS-box transcription factor of chayote. In this study, the MADS-box gene family of chayote was analyzed for the first time, and a total of 70 MADS-box genes were identified, including 14 type I and 56 type II MICK MADS genes. They were randomly distributed on 13 chromosomes except for chromosome 11. The light response element, hormone response element and abiotic stress response element were found in the promoter region of 70 MADS genes, indicating that the MADS gene can regulate the growth and development of chayote, resist abiotic stress,
