Isolation, characterization and expression analysis of stress responsive plant nuclear transcriptional factor subunit (NF-YB2) from commercial Saccharum hybrid and wild relative Erianthus arundinaceus.

ABSTRACT: Plant nuclear factor (NF-Y) is a transcription activating factor, consisting of three subunits, and plays a key regulatory role in many stress-responsive mechanisms including drought and salinity stresses. NF-Ys function both as complex and individual subunits. Considering the importance of sugarcane as a commercial crop with high socio-economic importance and the crop being affected mostly by water deficit stress and salinity stress causing significant yield loss, nuclear transcriptional factor NF-YB2 was focused in this study. Plant nuclear factor subunit B2 from Erianthus arundinaceus (EaNF-YB2), a wild relative of sugarcane which is known for its drought and salinity stress tolerance, and commercial Saccharum hybrid Co 86032 (ShNF-YB2) was isol
