Characterization of wheat (Triticum aestivum) TIFY family and role of Triticum Durum TdTIFY11a in salt stress tolerance.

ABSTRACT: The TIFY proteins constitute a plant-specific super-family and they are involved in regulating many plant processes, such as development, defences and stress responses. The Jasmonate-ZIM-Domain (JAZ) proteins, the best-characterized sub-group of the TIFY family are key regulator of the jasmonic acid (JA) signalling pathway. Jasmonates regulate several aspects of plant development, and play a primary role in defence mechanisms as well as in plant responses to abiotic stresses. The TIFY family is well studied in dicots but poorly investigated in monocots. The present study reports an extensive genomic identification of TIFY proteins from Triticum aestivum. We identified 49 TIFY genes, which were annotated according to three sub-genomes (AABBDD) of T. aestivum. Following their clustering with
