Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of C2H2 zinc finger proteins in Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) in different fruit development stages and under different levels of water stress.

ABSTRACT: The C2H2 type zinc finger proteins (C2H2-ZFPs) are prevalent motifs found widely across the eukaryotic kingdom, playing crucial roles in various biological processes, including stress responses and plant growth and development. To date, C2H2-ZFPs have been identified in many plant systems, but there have been no reports in Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.). In this study, a total of 77 ZjC2H2-ZFPs were identified in Chinese jujube and classified into three groups, with set A containing 29 genes, set B containing two genes, and set C containing 46 genes. The set A group genes were further divided into three groups: A1, A2, and A4 (with no member of the A3 subgroup found in jujube). The set C C2H2-ZFPs genes were also further divided into three groups: C1 containing 24 genes, C2
