Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of TCP transcription factors in Chrysanthemum indicum reveals their critical role in the response to various abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: Chrysanthemum indicum is an important medicinal plant that has a particularly strong effect on bacteria and viruses and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. The genes of the TCP family, a group of plant-specific transcription factors (TFs), have been found to play a crucial role in the regulation of plant growth and development as well as resistance to abiotic stress. Nevertheless, no systematic analysis of the TCP family genes in C. indicum has been performed so far. In the present study, a total of 26 non-redundant CiTCP genes were identified in the genome of C. indicum. The TCP genes were categorized into three subgroups on the basis of the phylogenetic analysis: 7, 9, and 10 genes belonged to the CIN subgroup, CYC/TB1 subgroup, and PCF subgroup, respecti
