Genome-wide identification and characterization of the bZIP family in the Mangrove Plant Kandelia obovata and its role in response to stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental changes. The mangrove plant Kandelia obovata, native to subtropical and tropical coastal intertidal zones, has evolved various adaptive mechanisms to cope with unstable muddy substrates, tidal fluctuations, saltwater intrusion, and intense ultraviolet radiation. This study aims to provide a comprehensive characterization of the bZIP gene family in K. obovata and investigate its functional roles in response to environmental stresses.

Results

In the K. obovata genome, 66 bZIP genes were identified and named KobZIP1 to KobZIP66, categorized based on their chromosomal locations. These KobZIP genes exhibited diversity in physicochemical
