Genome-Wide Characterization and Analysis of the <i>FH</i> Gene Family in <i>Medicago truncatula</i> Under Abiotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The formin family proteins play an important role in guiding the assembly and nucleation of linear actin and can promote the formation of actin filaments independently of the Arp2/3 complex. As a key protein that regulates the cytoskeleton and cell morphological structure, the formin gene family has been widely studied in plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and rice.

Methods

In this study, we conducted comprehensive analyses, including phylogenetic tree construction, conserved motif identification, co-expression network analysis, and transcriptome data mining.

Results

A total of 18 MtFH gene family members were identified, and the distribution of these genes on chromosomes was not uniform. The phylogenetic tree divided the FH proteins of the f
