Identification of YABBY Transcription Factors and Their Function in ABA and Salinity Response in Nelumbo nucifera.

ABSTRACT: The plant-specific transcription factor family YABBY plays important roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although the function of YABBY has been identified in many species, systematic analysis in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is still relatively lacking. The present study aimed to characterize all of the YABBY genes in lotus and obtain better insights into NnYABBYs in response to salt stress by depending on ABA signaling. Here, we identified nine YABBY genes by searching the whole lotus genome based on the conserved YABBY domain. Further analysis showed that these members were distributed on six different chromosomes and named from YABBY1 to YABBY9, which were divided into five subgroups, including YAB1, YAB2, YAB5, INO, and CRC.
