Alfin-like (AL) transcription factor family in Oryza sativa L.: Genome-wide analysis and expression profiling under different stresses.

ABSTRACT: Oryza sativa L. is the world's most essential and economically important food crop. Climate change and ecological imbalances make rice plants vulnerable to abiotic and biotic stresses, threatening global food security. The Alfin-like (AL) transcription factor family plays a crucial role in plant development and stress responses. This study comprehensively analyzed this gene family and their expression profiles in rice, revealing nine AL genes, classifying them into three distinct groups based on phylogenetic analysis and identifying four segmental duplication events. RNA-seq data analysis revealed high expression levels of OsALs in different tissues, growth stages, and their responsiveness to stresses. RT-qPCR data showed significant expression of OsALs in different abiotic stresses
