Comprehensive Genomic Analysis of Trihelix Transcription Factor Genes and Their Expression Underlying Abiotic Stress in Euphrates Poplar (<i>Populus euphratica</i>).

ABSTRACT: Trihelix transcription factors (TTFs) are light-sensitive proteins characterized by a triple-helix structure that play a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development, especially in response to abiotic stressors, such as drought and salinity. This intriguing family of proteins has been the focus of extensive functional studies across various plant species. Despite their recognized significance, the trihelix family in Populus euphratica has not been thoroughly explored, warranting more attention. This study identifies 35 full-length trihelix genes in Populus euphratica, which are grouped into five categories (GT-1, GT-γ, GT-2, SIP1, and SH4) based on their conserved motifs and structural similarities, and these genes are unevenly distributed across 19 linkage groups
