Comprehensive analysis of Alfin-like transcription factors associated with drought and salt stresses in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alfin-like proteins are a kind of plant-specific transcription factors, and play vital roles in plant growth, development and stress responses.

Results

In this study, a total of 27 Alfin-like transcription factors were identified in wheat. TaAL genes were unevenly distributed on chromosome. Phylogenetic analysis showed TaAL genes were divided into AL-B and AL-C subfamilies, and TaALs with closer evolutionary relationships generally shared more similar exon-intron structures and conserved motifs. The cis-acting element analysis showed MBS, ABRE and CGTCA-motif were the most common in TaAL promoters. The interacting proteins and downstream target genes of TaAL genes were also investigated in wheat. The transcriptome data and real-time PCR results indicated TaAL gene
