Genome-wide analysis of the C3H zinc finger family reveals its functions in salt stress responses of Pyrus betulaefolia.

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors regulate gene expression in response to various external and internal cues by activating or suppressing downstream genes. Significant progress has been made in identifying and characterizing the Cysteine3Histidine (C3H) gene family in several dicots and monocots. They are characterized by their signature motif of three cysteine and one histidine residues, and reportedly play important roles in regulation of plant growth, developmental processes and environmental responses. In this study, we performed genome-wide and deep analysis of putative C3H genes, and a total of 117 PbeC3H members, were identified in P. betulaefolia and classified into 12 groups. Results were supported by the gene structural characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. These genes were uneve
