Genome-wide analysis and identification of nuclear factor Y gene family in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.).

ABSTRACT: NF-Y is a class of heterotrimeric transcription factor composed of three subunits; NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC. This complex binds to the CCAAT box found in eukaryotic promoters and is involved in the plant development and proliferation at various stages. Although many studies were conducted on NF-Y gene family in various species, but no study has been reported yet in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). In this study, 47 PvNF-Y genes (17 PvNF-YA, 18 PvNF-YB, and 12 PvNF-YC) have been identified and named according to their subfamily. Chromosome location analysis revealed that all 47 PvNF-Y genes are randomly distributed across nine chromosomes. Moreover, multiple sequence alignment showed the DNA-binding domain and NF-YA/NFYB interacting domains flanking with non-conserved domains. In addition,
