Genome-wide identification and analysis of the NF-Y transcription factor family reveal its potential roles in tobacco (<i>Nicotiana tabacum</i> L.).

ABSTRACT: Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) represents a group of transcription factors commonly present in higher eukaryotes, typically consisting of three subunits: NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC. They play crucial roles in the embryonic development, photosynthesis, flowering, abiotic stress responses, and other essential processes in plants. To better understand the genome-wide NF-Y domain-containing proteins, the protein physicochemical properties, chromosomal localization, synteny, phylogenetic relationships, genomic structure, promoter cis-elements, and protein interaction network of NtNF-Ys in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were systematically analyzed. In this study, we identified 58 NtNF-Ys in tobacco, respectively, and divided into three subfamilies corresponding to their phylogenetic relatio
