Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the NF-Y Gene Family in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a ubiquitous transcription factor in eukaryotes, which is composed of three subunits (NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC). NF-Y has been identified as a key regulator of multiple pathways in plants. Although the NF-Y gene family has been identified in many plants, it has not been reported in potato (Solanum tuberosum). In the present study, a total of 41 NF-Y proteins in potato (StNF-Ys) were identified, including 10 StNF-YA, 22 StNF-YB, and nine StNF-YC subunits, and their distribution on chromosomes, gene structure, and conserved motif was analyzed. A synteny analysis indicated that 14 and 38 pairs of StNF-Y genes were orthologous to Arabidopsis and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), respectively, and these gene pairs evolved under strong purifying select
