Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Related to Drought Stress in Cultivated Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.).

ABSTRACT: APETALA2/ethylene response element-binding factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factors (TFs) have been found to regulate plant growth and development and response to various abiotic stresses. However, detailed information of AP2/ERF genes in peanut against drought has not yet been performed. Herein, 185 AP2/ERF TF members were identified from the cultivated peanut (A. hypogaea cv. Tifrunner) genome, clustered into five subfamilies: AP2 (APETALA2), ERF (ethylene-responsive-element-binding), DREB (dehydration-responsive-element-binding), RAV (related to ABI3/VP), and Soloist (few unclassified factors)). Subsequently, the phylogenetic relationship, intron-exon structure, and chromosomal location of AhAP2/ERF were further characterized. All of these AhAP2/ERF genes were
