Heat shock transcription factor (Hsf) gene family in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris): genome-wide identification, phylogeny, evolutionary expansion and expression analyses at the sprout stage under abiotic stress

Qi Zhang et al.

Summary: This study identified 30 heat shock factor transcription factors in common bean, finding similarities in motifs, gene structure, cis-elements, and collinearity among them, which regulate responses to abiotic stress. Quantitative real-time PCR results showed differential expression of PvHsfs under cold, heat, salt, and heavy metal stress, suggesting they may have different functions depending on the type of stress.

Genome Assembly of Alfalfa Cultivar Zhongmu-4 and Identification of SNPs Associated with Agronomic Traits

Ruicai Long et al.

Summary: This study reported the chromosome-level genome sequence and genomic variation database of Zhongmu-4, a widely cultivated alfalfa cultivar in China, as well as the polymorphic genes associated with agronomic traits. The expansion of gene families and increase of repetitive elements observed in Zhongmu-4 genome may contribute to its larger genome size compared to Medicago truncatula. The population structure analysis revealed the influence of geography on the genetic divergence of alfalfa. The findings of this study will facilitate genetic research and genomics-assisted breeding for alfalfa variety improvement.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of HSF Transcription Factors in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) under Abiotic Stress

Jin Ma et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the resistance of alfalfa to abiotic stresses and analyze the heat shock transcription factors (HSF) gene family in alfalfa. The results showed that the expression of MsHSF genes significantly increased under four abiotic stresses and exhibited tissue-specific expression.

ThHSFA1 Confers Salt Stress Tolerance through Modulation of Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging by Directly Regulating ThWRKY4

Ting-Ting Sun et al.

Summary: This study elucidated the regulatory mechanism of ThHSFA1-ThWRKY4 genes in response to salt stress in Tamarix hispida, with ThHSFA1 acting as an upstream regulator that can directly activate ThWRKY4 expression. Transgenic plants overexpressing ThHSFA1 exhibited enhanced salt tolerance, decreased reactive oxygen species levels, and increased antioxidant enzyme activity levels under salt stress.

Genome-wide identification of the MADS-box transcription factor family in autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and expression analysis under abiotic stress

Xueming Dong et al.

Summary: In this study, 120 MsMADS-box genes were identified in the cultivated alfalfa genome at autotetraploid level, and their differential expression in various tissues and under abiotic stresses was revealed. Through bioinformatics and expression analysis, we systematically identified and characterized MADS-box transcription factors in autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa for the first time, with eight genes significantly involved in response to various stresses.

Genome-wide identification and analysis of the heat shock transcription factor family in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis)

Bin Huang et al.

Summary: Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) are crucial components in regulating plant heat stress response, with 41 members identified in moso bamboo exhibiting non-uniform distribution, distinct subfamily divisions, conserved gene structures, and predominantly nuclear localization. Genomic analyses suggest collinearity with rice and maize, while transcriptional data indicate potential roles in reproductive growth and early development of rapidly-growing shoots.
