Genome-Wide Identification of the <i>TCP</i> Gene Family in <i>Chimonanthus praecox</i> and Functional Analysis of <i>CpTCP2</i> Regulating Leaf Development and Flowering in Transgenic <i>Arabidopsis</i>.

ABSTRACT: TCP transcription factors represent a crucial family of plant regulators that contribute significantly to growth and developmental processes. Although the TCP gene family has been extensively studied in various plant species, research on Chimonanthus praecox (wintersweet) remains limited. Here, we performed genome-wide identification and analysis of the TCP gene family in C. praecox and identified 22 CpTCP genes. We further systematically examined the associated physicochemical properties, evolutionary relationships, gene structures, and regulatory features. Analysis revealed that all CpTCP proteins possess a conserved TCP domain, and subcellular localization prediction indicated their localization in the nucleus. Promoter analysis revealed that multiple
