Genome wide identification and functional assignments of C₂H₂ Zinc-finger family transcription factors in Dichanthelium oligosanthes.

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) are biological regulators of gene function in response to various internal and external stimuli. C₂H₂ zinc finger proteins (C₂H₂-ZFPs) are a large family of TFs that play crucial roles in plant growth and development, hormone signalling and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. While C₂H₂-ZFPs have been well characterized in many model and crop plants, they are yet to be ascertained in the evolutionarily important C₃ plant Dichanthelium oligosanthes (Heller's rosette grass). In the present study, we report 32 C₂H₂-ZF genes (DoZFs) belonging to three different classes-Q type, C-type and Z-type based on structural elucidation and phylogenetic analysis. Sequence co
