Systematic Characterization of GATA Transcription Factors in Liriodendron chinense and Functional Validation in Abiotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: The Liriodendron chinense in the Magnoliaceae family is an endangered tree species useful for its socio-economic and ecological benefits. Abiotic stresses (cold, heat, and drought stress), among other factors, affect its growth, development, and distribution. However, GATA transcription factors (TFs) respond to various abiotic stresses and play a significant role in plant acclimatization to abiotic stresses. To determine the function of GATA TFs in L. chinense, we investigated the GATA genes in the genome of L. chinense. In this study, a total of 18 GATA genes were identified, which were randomly distributed on 12 of the total 17 chromosomes. These GATA genes clustered together in four separate groups based on their phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, a
