Comprehensive Analysis of TIFY Transcription Factors and Their Expression Profiles under Jasmonic Acid and Abiotic Stresses in Watermelon.

ABSTRACT: The TIFY gene family is plant-specific and encodes proteins involved in the regulation of multiple biological processes. Here, we identified 15 TIFY genes in the watermelon genome, which were divided into four subfamilies (eight JAZs, four ZMLs, two TIFYs, and one PPD) in the phylogenetic tree. The ClTIFY genes were unevenly located on eight chromosomes, and three segmental duplication events and one tandem duplication event were identified, suggesting that gene duplication plays a vital role in the expansion of the TIFY gene family in watermelon. Further analysis of the protein architectures, conserved domains, and gene structures provided additional clues for understanding the putative functions of the TIFY family members.
