Exploring CDF gene family in wild potato under salinity stress unveils promising candidates for developing climate-resilient crops.

ABSTRACT: The DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) gene family is a class of plant-specific transcription factors involved in diverse biological processes, including response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Members of this family have been reported in the cultivated potato Solanum tuberosum, but clues to the roles of several Dof genes are still lacking. Potato wild relatives represent a genetic reservoir for breeding as they could provide useful alleles for adaptation to the environment and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. We performed an in silico analysis to identify genes belonging to the Dof family in the wild potato S. commersonii, confirming that the identified Dof genes can be grouped in four classes (A, B, C, D), as reported for cultivated potato. A special focus was dedicated to Cycli
