Characterization of the basic leucine zipper transcription factor family of Neoporphyra haitanensis and its role in acclimation to dehydration stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neoporphyra haitanensis, a major marine crop native to southern China, grows in the harsh intertidal habitats of rocky coasts. The thallus can tolerate fluctuating and extreme environmental stresses, for example, repeated desiccation/rehydration due to the turning tides. It is also a typical model system for investigating stress tolerance mechanisms in intertidal seaweed. The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play important roles in the regulation of plants' responses to environmental stress stimuli. However, little information is available regarding the bZIP family in the marine crop Nh. haitanensis.

Results

We identified 19 bZIP genes in the Nh. haitanensis genome and described their conserved domains. Based on phylogenetic analysis, these 19 Nhh
