Genome-Wide Identification of the DOF Gene Family in Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) and Functional Validation of AcDOF22 in Response to Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: DNA-binding one zinc finger (DOF) transcription factors are crucial plant-specific regulators involved in growth, development, signal transduction, and abiotic stress response generation. However, the genome-wide identification and characterization of AcDOF genes and their regulatory elements in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we screened the kiwifruit genome database and identified 42 AcDOF genes (AcDOF1 to AcDOF42). Phylogenetic analysis facilitated the categorization of these genes into five subfamilies (DOF-a, DOF-b, DOF-c, DOF-d, and DOF-e). We further analyzed the motifs, conserved domains, gene structures, and collinearity of the AcDOFgene family. Gene on
