Genome-Wide Identification of Vascular Plant One-Zinc-Finger Gene Family in Six Cucurbitaceae Species and the Role of CmoVOZ2 in Salt and Drought Stress Tolerance.

ABSTRACT: As a plant-specific transcription factor, the vascular plant one-zinc-finger (VOZ) plays a crucial role in regulating various biological processes. In this study, a total of 17 VOZ genes in the Cucurbitaceae family were investigated using various bioinformatics methods. The 17 VOZ genes in Cucurbitaceae are distributed across 16 chromosomes. Based on the affinity of VOZ proteins to AtVOZ proteins, these 17 proteins were categorized into two groups: group I encompassed eight VOZ members, while group II comprised nine VOZ members. The expression profiles of CmoVOZs under various hormonal and abiotic stresses indicated that these genes were induced differentially by JA, ABA, GA, salt, and drought stress. Subsequently, CmoVOZ1 and CmoVOZ2 were found to be transcriptionally active
