Genomic Organization, Phylogenetic Comparison, and Differential Expression of the Nuclear Factor-Y Gene Family in Apple (Malus Domestica).

ABSTRACT: The nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) as a transcription factor plays an important role in plants growth and development, and response to stress. However, few genome-wide analyzes and functional research of the NF-Y family has been undertaken in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) so far. In this study, we comprehensively identified the 43 MdNF-Y genes in apple, which dispersedly distributed among the three subgroups based on their sequence alignment analysis, including 11 MdNF-YAs, 22 MdNF-YBs and 10 MdNF-YCs. The members in the same subgroups had similar evolution relationships, gene structures, and conserved motifs. The gene duplication analysis suggested that all the genes were dispersed followed by 27 segmental duplication. Moreover, based on synteny analysis of
