WRKY transcription factor family in lettuce plant (Lactuca sativa): Genome-wide characterization, chromosome location, phylogeny structures, and expression patterns.

ABSTRACT: WRKY transcription factors (TF) have been identified in many plant species and play critical roles in multiple stages of growth and development and under various stress conditions. As one of the most popular vegetable crops, asparagus lettuce has important medicinal and nutritional value. However, study of WRKY TFs family in asparagus lettuce is limited. With the lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) genome publication, we identified 76 WRKY TFs and analyzed structural characteristics, phylogenetic relationships, chromosomal distribution, interaction network, and expression profiles. The 76 LsWRKY TFs were phylogenetically classified as Groups I, II (IIa-IIe), and III. Cis element analysis revealed complex regulatory relationships of LsWRKY genes in response to different biological pro
