Summary: | The
gene family encodes plant transcription factors crucial for regulating growth and development. While
genes have been identified in various species, they have not been studied in
(Hemsl.). This study identified 29
genes in the
genome, categorizing them into Class I (PCF) and Class II (CYC/TB1 and CIN). We conducted analyses on the
gene at both the protein level (physicochemical properties) and the gene sequence level (subcellular localization, chromosomal distribution, phylogenetic relationships, conserved motifs, and gene structure). Most
genes are localized in the nucleus, except
in the mitochondria and
in both the chloroplast and nucleus. Chromosomal mapping showed 29
genes unevenly distributed across 10 chromosomes, except chromosome 8 and 9. We also analyzed the promoter cis-regulatory elements, which are mainly involved in plant growth and development and hormone responses. Notably, most
transcription factors respond highly to light. Further analysis revealed three subfamily genes expressed in five
tissues: leaves, root bark, root xylem, stem xylem, and stem bark, with predominant
genes. Using qRT-PCR, we examined six representative genes-

,
,
,
, and
-under stress conditions such as high temperature, drought, light exposure, and dark.
and
showed significantly higher expression under heat, drought, light and dark stress. We hypothesize that
transcription factors play a key role in growth under varying light conditions, possibly mediated by auxin hormones. This work provides insights into the
gene family's functional characteristics and stress resistance regulation in
