Genome-wide identification, classification and expression analysis of the heat shock transcription factor family in Garlic (Allium sativum L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The heat shock transcription factor (HSF) plays a crucial role in the regulatory network by coordinating responses to heat stress as well as other stress signaling pathways. Despite extensive studies on HSF functions in various plant species, our understanding of this gene family in garlic, an important crop with nutritional and medicinal value, remains limited. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the entire garlic genome to elucidate the characteristics of the AsHSF gene family.

Results

In this study, we identified a total of 17 AsHSF transcription factors. Phylogenetic analysis classified these transcription factors into three subfamilies: Class A (9 members), Class B (6 members), and Class C (2 members). Each subfamily was characterized
