Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the bZIP transcription factor family genes in response to abiotic stress in Nicotiana tabacum L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TF) is one of the largest families of transcription factors (TFs). It is widely distributed and highly conserved in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Previous studies have shown that the bZIP TF family is involved in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The bZIP family has been studied in many plants; however, there is little research on the bZIP gene family in tobacco.

Results

In this study, 77 bZIPs were identified in tobacco and named NtbZIP01 through to NtbZIP77. These 77 genes were then divided into eleven subfamilies according to their homology with Arabidopsis thaliana. NtbZIPs were unevenly distributed across twenty-two tobacco chromosomes, and we found sixteen pairs of segmental duplicat
