Genetic Diversity of Transcription Factor Genes in Triticum and Mining for Promising Haplotypes for Beneficial Agronomic Traits.

ABSTRACT: Transcription factor (TF) is a class of the sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins that modulate the transcription of target genes, and thus regulate their expressions. Variations in TF are the crucial determinants for phenotypic traits. Although much progress has been made in the functions of TF genes in wheat, one of the most important staple crops globally, the diversity of TF genes in wheat and its progenitors are not well understood, especially the agronomically promising haplotypes have not yet been characterized. Here, we identified a total of 6,023 TF genes from hexaploid wheat through a genome-search method and classified them into 59 gene families based on the conserved domain. The characteristics and dN/dS values of these genes showed evidently selective effects. Based on re-seq
