Molecular cloning and expression analysis of GT-2-like genes in strawberry.

ABSTRACT: GT-2 factors are the members of trihelix transcription factors (TFs) which can function in regulating plant development and responding to different abiotic stress. These proteins contain two structural domains composed by three tandem repeats helix-loop-helix-loop-helix. The strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is one of the most prevalent fruit crops due to its high economic and nutritional value. Nevertheless, strawberry production is limited by a range of biotic and abiotic stresses (such as drought, extreme temperature) that cause significant losses every year. Despite the potential roles of GT-2 transcription factor in plants, the functional and systematic analysis of the strawberry GT-2 subfamily has not been reported yet. In this research, we identified six GT-2 fact
