Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of ethylene responsive factor family transcription factors in Juglans regia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Walnut is an important economic tree species with prominent economic value and ecological functions. However, in recent years, walnuts have become susceptible to drought stress, resulting in a decline in comprehensive benefits. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the regulatory molecular mechanism associated with walnut response to drought. In many plants, ethylene responsive factor (ERF) gene family plays important roles in response to biotic and abiotic stress, especial drought. Therefore, the identification and characterisation of walnut ERF genes will benefit walnut with regard to the clarification of drought response mechanism as well as the management, production, and quality of plantations.
