Genome-Wide Study of Plant-Specific PLATZ Transcription Factors and Functional Analysis of OsPLATZ1 in Regulating Caryopsis Development of Rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: Plant A/T-rich sequence- and zinc-binding protein (PLATZ) is a type of plant-specific zinc-dependent DNA-binding protein that binds to A/T-rich DNA sequences. This family is essential for plant growth, development, and stress response. In this study, 15 OsPLATZs were identified in the rice genome with complete PLATZ-conserved domains by CD-search, similar to those found in angiosperms. Multi-species phylogenetic analysis showed that PLATZs were conserved in photosynthetic organisms, and an evolutionary branch unique to angiosperms was identified among members of the PLATZ family. Fifteen OsPLATZs were represented by five groups, each with distinct characteristics. An analysis of protein structures and sequence motifs showed that OsPLATZs were similar within groups, but varied betwee
