Genome-wide identification and characterization of GATA gene family involved in ovule development of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis).

ABSTRACT:

Background

GATA transcription factors, a type of zinc-finger DNA-binding protein, play a crucial role in regulating various biological processes including plant growth, stress response, and hormone signaling by controlling the expression of target genes. Recently, GATA genes have been discovered in numerous plant species. However, they have not yet been reported in Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis).

Results

In this study, a total of 15 PkorGATA genes were identified in the whole genome of Korean pine. These PkorGATA genes are unevenly distributed across nine chromosomes and are categorized into four subfamilies based on their conserved structural domains. The results of cis-acting element analysis, RNA-seq, and qRT-PCR indicate that PkorGATA genes play a significant role in the
