Identification and Analysis of Stress-Associated Protein (SAP) Transcription Factor Family Members in <i>Pinus massoniana</i>.

ABSTRACT: Stress-associated proteins (SAPs), belonging to the A20/AN1 zinc finger protein family, are key regulators in plant stress responses. Despite their importance, studies on the SAP gene family in Pinus massoniana are still relatively scarce. This study aimed to systematically identify and characterize SAP genes in P. massoniana and to explore their potential roles in stress response mechanisms. A total of 17 PmSAP genes were identified from P. massoniana. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these genes group into five distinct clades, and 10 conserved motifs were identified. Using transcriptome data and qRT-PCR, we analyzed their expression patterns and employed yeast systems to validate their transcriptional activities. The responses of PmSAP gene family m
