Durum wheat nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) a subfamily: structure, phylogeny, and expression analysis in response to hormones and abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) transcription factors are heterotrimeric complexes that are widely distributed in eukaryotes and play essential roles in many biological processes. Although NF-YA proteins have been characterized in numerous plants, their contribution to the response of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) to environmental factors has not been reported. Thus, this study was aimed at identification and characterization of Triticum turgidum TtNF-YA family members through genome-wide analysis. Twelve NF-YA genes were discovered in Triticum turgidum. Discovered genes were distributed across eight chromosomes, while their encoded proteins were localized in cell nucleus. Structure and motif pattern analyses revealed that the TtNF-YA genes were relatively conserved. The expression of
