Genome-Wide Identification of the Q-type C2H2 Transcription Factor Family in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and Expression Analysis under Different Abiotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: Q-type C2H2 zinc-finger protein (C2H2-ZFP) transcription factors are associated with many plant growth development and environmental stress responses. To date, there have been few analyses of the Q-type C2H2-ZFP gene family in alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa). In this study, we identified 58 Q-type C2H2-ZFPs across the entire alfalfa genome, and the gene structure, motif composition, chromosomal mapping, and cis-regulatory elements were explored, as well as the expression profiles of specific tissues and the response under different abiotic stresses. According to their phylogenetic features, these 58 MsZFPs were divided into 12 subgroups. Synteny analysis showed that duplication events play a vital role in the expansion of the MsZFP g
