Identification of C2H2 zinc finger genes through genome-wide association study and functional analyses of LkZFPs in response to stresses in Larix kaempferi.

ABSTRACT:

Background

C2H2 zinc finger proteins (C2H2-ZFPs), one of the largest transcription factors, play a variety of roles in plant development and growth as well as stress response. While, the evolutionary history and expression profile of the C2H2-ZFP genes in Larix kaempferi (LkZFPs) have not been reported so far.

Results

In this study, the whole genome of the LkZFPs was identified and characterized, including physicochemical properties, phylogenetic relationships, conservative motifs, the promoter cis-elements and Gene Ontology (GO) annotation. We identified 47 LkZFPs and divided them into four subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis and conserved motifs. Subcellular localization prediction showed that most of the LkZFPs were located in the nucleus. Promoter cis-element anal
