Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the NF-Y Transcription Factor Family Reveal Its Potential Roles in Salt Stress in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a heterotrimeric transcription factor that plays an important role in various biological processes in plants, such as flowering regulation, drought resistance, and salt stress. However, few in-depth studies investigated the alfalfa NF-Y gene family. In this study, in total, 60 MsNF-Y genes, including 9 MsNF-YAs, 26 MsNF-YBs, and 25 MsNF-YCs, were identified in the alfalfa genome. The genomic locations, gene structures, protein molecular weights, conserved domains, phylogenetic relationships, and gene expression patterns in different tissues and under different stresses (cold stress, drought stress, and salt stress) of these NF-Y genes were analyzed. The illustration of the conserved domains and specific domains of the dif
