Identification and Analysis of the AP2 Subfamily Transcription Factors in the Pecan (Carya illinoinensis).

ABSTRACT: The AP2 transcriptional factors (TFs) belong to the APETALA2/ ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily and regulate various biological processes of plant growth and development, as well as response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, genome-wide research on the AP2 subfamily TFs in the pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is rarely reported. In this paper, we identify 30 AP2 subfamily genes from pecans through a genome-wide search, and they were unevenly distributed on the pecan chromosomes. Then, a phylogenetic tree, gene structure and conserved motifs were further analyzed. The 30 AP2 genes were divided into euAP2, euANT and basalANT three clades. Moreover, the cis-acting elements analysis showed many light responsive elements, plant hormone-responsive elements and abio
