Molecular Characterization and Expression Profile Analysis of Heat Shock Transcription Factors in Mungbean.

ABSTRACT: Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are essential elements in plant signal transduction pathways that mediate gene expression in response to various abiotic stresses. Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is an important crop worldwide. The emergence of a genome database now allows for functional analysis of mungbean genes. In this study, we dissect the mungbean Hsfs using genome-wide identification and expression profiles. We characterized a total of 24 VrHsf genes and classified them into three groups (A, B, and C) based on their phylogeny and conserved domain structures. All VrHsf genes exhibit highly conserved exon-intron organization, with two exons and one intron. In addition, all VrHsf proteins contain 16 distinct motifs. Chromosome location analysis revealed that
