Identification and Characterization of the Gene Family in and Its Role in Abiotic Stress-Drought, Heat and Light Stress.

is a second-class endangered and protected species unique to China, and it holds significant ecological and economic value. DNA binding one zinc finger (Dof) transcription factors are plant-specific regulators. Numerous studies have demonstrated that genes are involved in plant growth, development and responses to abiotic stress. In this study, we identified and analyzed 34 gene members at the whole-genome level. The results indicated that the 34 genes were unevenly distributed across 12 chromosomes. We utilized the genes from and to construct a phylogenetic tree and categorized these genes into eight subgroups. In the collinearity analysis, there were 16 homologous gene pairs between and and nine homologous gene pairs between and . We conducted a -acting element analysis and found that -acting elements involved in light response were the most abundant in genes. Through SSR site prediction, we analyzed that the evolution level of genes is low. Additionally, we assessed the expression profiles of eight genes under high temperature, drought, and light stress using qRT-PCR. In particular, and are significantly upregulated under the three stresses. This study provides foundational information for genes and offers new insights for further research on the mechanism of Dof transcription factors responding to stress, as well as the adaptation of to environmental changes.
