Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of NF-Y Gene Family in Ginkgo biloba Seedlings and GbNF-YA6 Involved in Heat-Stress Response and Tolerance.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription factors play an essential role in regulating plant growth, development, and stress responses. Despite extensive research on the NF-Y gene family across various species, the knowledge regarding the NF-Y family in Ginkgo biloba remains unknown. In this study, we identified a total of 25 NF-Y genes (seven GbNF-YAs, 12 GbNF-YBs, and six GbNF-YCs) in the G. biloba genome. We characterized the gene structure, conserved motifs, multiple sequence alignments, and phylogenetic relationships with other species (Populus and Arabidopsis). Additionally, we conducted a synteny analysis, which revealed the occurrence of segment duplicated NF-YAs and NF-YBs. The promoters of GbNF-Y genes contained cis-acting elements related to stress
