Genome-Wide Analysis and Expression Profiles of Auxin Response Factors in Ginger (<i>Zingiber officinale</i> Roscoe).

ABSTRACT: Ginger, an economically important crop, fulfills multifunctional roles as a spice, vegetable, and raw material for medicinal and chemical products. The family of Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) plays an essential role in facilitating auxin signal transduction and regulating plant growth and development. However, the role of ARF genes in ginger, a crop of considerable economic importance, remains elucidated. In this study, a total of 26 ZoARF genes were identified in the ginger genome, which were further categorized into four subfamilies (I-IV) and displayed a non-uniform distribution across 11 chromosomes. The proteins are predominantly localized to the nucleus. Promoter regions contained numerous cis-elements linked to light signaling, phytohormones, growth, development
