NF-YB family transcription factors in Arabidopsis: Structure, phylogeny, and expression analysis in biotic and abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) transcription factors (TFs) are conserved heterotrimeric complexes present and widespread across eukaryotes. Three main subunits make up the structural and functional aspect of the NF-Y TFs: NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC, which bind to the conserved CCAAT- box of the promoter region of specific genes, while also interacting with each other, thereby forming myriad combinations. The NF-YBs are expressed differentially in various tissues and plant development stages, likely impacting many of the cellular processes constitutively and under stress conditions. In this study, ten members of NF-YB family from Arabidopsis thaliana were identified and expression profiles were mined from microarray data under different biotic and abiotic conditions, revealing key insights into
