Genome-scale identification, expression and evolution analysis of members in .

B-box (BBX) proteins have been recognized as vital determinants in plant development, morphogenesis, and adaptive responses to a myriad of environmental stresses. These zinc-finger proteins play a pivotal role in various biological processes. Their influence spans photomorphogenesis, the regulation of flowering, and imparting resilience to a wide array of challenges, encompassing both biotic and abiotic factors. Chromosome localization, gene structure and conserved motifs, phylogenetic analysis, collinearity analysis, expression profiling, fluorescence quantitative analysis, and tobacco transient transformation methods were used for functional localization and expression pattern analysis of the gene. A total of 23 members were identified from . Subsequent phylogenetic evaluations effectively segregated these genes into five discrete evolutionary subsets. The predictions of subcellular localizations revealed that all these proteins were localized in the nucleus. The genetic composition and patterns showed that the majority of these genes consisted of several exons, with a few variations that could be attributed to transposon insertion. A comprehensive analysis using RT-PCR was conducted to unravel the expression patterns of these genes in , with a specific concentration on their responses to various hormone treatments and cold stress. Subcellular localization reveals that and are located in the nucleus. Our results provide a deep comprehension of the complex regulatory mechanisms of BBXs in response to various environmental and hormonal stimuli. These discoveries encourage further detailed and focused investigations into the operational dynamics of the gene family in a wider range of plant species.
