“…Flooding, drought, salinity, metal ions, extreme temperature and other adverse conditions severely inhibit plant growth and development, often resulting in changes in plant physiology, biochemistry, morphology, senescence and even death [ 1 ]. Therefore, carrying out studies on plant stress and improving plant resistance can improve the economic values of the plant.…”

“…During long-term evolution, plants have developed a comprehensive regulatory network to facilitate the rapid detection of environmental changes and simultaneously conduct adaptive responses [ 3 ]. Environmental signals can be sensed by internal stress-induced factors in plants, and then a broad range of transcription factors (TFs) will be activated to mediate the plant appropriate responses, including WAKY, Trihelix, NAC, MYB, ERF, C2H2, bZIP, bHLH, LBD, MBF1, and other families [ 1 , 4 – 6 ]. In previous studies, approximately 7% of the plant genomecould be encoded TFs, including approximately 4.7% of Arabidopsis thaliana , 6.4% of poplar, and 7.7% of Zanthoxylum armatum [ 2 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Background Multiprotein bridging factor 1 (MBF1) is a crucial transcriptional coactivator in animals, plants, and some microorganisms, that plays a necessary role in growth development and stress tolerance. Zanthoxylum armatum is an important perennial plant for the condiments and pharmaceutical industries, whereas the potential information in the genes related to stress resistance remains poorly understood in Z. armatum. Results Herein, six representative species were selected for use in a genome-wide investigation of the MBF1 family, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, Populus trichocarpa, Citrus sinensis, Ginkgo biloba, and Z. armatum. The results showed that the MBF1 genes could be divided into two groups: Group I contained the MBF1a and MBF1b subfamilies, and group II was independent of the MBF1c subfamily.. Most species have at least two different MBF1 genes, and MBF1c is usually an essential member. The three ZaMBF1 genes were respectively located on ZaChr26, ZaChr32, and ZaChr4 of Zanthoxylum chromosomes. The collinearity were occurred between three ZaMBF1 genes, and ZaMBF1c showed the collinearity between Z. armatum and both P. trichocarpa and C. sinensis. Moreover, many cis-elements associated with abiotic stress and phytohormone pathways were detected in the promoter regions of MBF1 of six representative species. The ERF binding sites were the most abundant targets in the sequences of the ZaMBF1 family, and some transcription factor sites related to floral differentiation were also identified in ZaMBF1c, such as MADS, LFY, Dof, and AP2. ZaMBF1a was observed to be very highly expressed in 25 different samples except in the seeds, and ZaMBF1c may be associated with the male and female floral initiation processes. In addition, expression in all the ZaMBF1 genes could be significantly induced by water-logging, cold stress, ethephon, methyl jasmonate, and salicylic acid treatments, especially in ZaMBF1c. Conclusion The present study carried out a comprehensive bioinformatic investigation related to the MBF1 family in six representative species, and the responsiveness of ZaMBF1 genes to various abiotic stresses and phytohormone inductions was also revealed. This work not only lays a solid foundation to uncover the biological roles of the ZaMBF1 family in Z. armatum, but also provides some broad references for conducting the MBF1 research in other plants.

“…Cis-acting element analysis results showed that the promoters of LcAAAP genes' response to the abiotic have at least one of the LTR (response to the low temperature), MBS (MYB binding site involved in drought-inducibility), and TC-rich repeat elements (cis-acting element involved in defense and stress responsiveness), which showed that promoters could control structural and morphological changes in plant-environment interactions to adapt to unfavorable external environments [58]. How plants adapt to external abiotic stresses involves a very complex gene regulatory network, and a variety of transcription factors are usually involved in this process [58][59][60]. In previous studies, we found that WRKY and MYB genes were involved in regulating the response of hybrid Liriodendron to stress [56,57].…”

In this study, 52 AAAP genes were identified in the L. chinense genome and divided into eight subgroups based on phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, and conserved motif. A total of 48 LcAAAP genes were located on the 14 chromosomes, and the remaining four genes were mapped in the contigs. Multispecies phylogenetic tree and codon usage bias analysis show that the LcAAAP gene family is closer to the AAAP of Amborella trichopoda, indicating that the LcAAAP gene family is relatively primitive in angiosperms. Gene duplication events revealed six pairs of segmental duplications and one pair of tandem duplications, in which many paralogous genes diverged in function before monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants differentiation and were strongly purification selected. Gene expression pattern analysis showed that the LcAAAP gene plays a certain role in the development of Liriodendron nectary and somatic embryogenesis. Low temperature, drought, and heat stresses may activate some WRKY/MYB transcription factors to positively regulate the expression of LcAAAP genes to achieve long-distance transport of amino acids in plants to resist the unfavorable external environment. In addition, the GAT and PorT subgroups could involve gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transport under aluminum poisoning. These findings could lay a solid foundation for further study of the biological role of LcAAAP and improvement of the stress resistance of Liriodendron.

“…Through heterologous expression in Arabidopsis thaliana and transient expression in winter jujube pericarp, it was confirmed that LOC107435239 could positively regulate the accumulation of pericarp lignin during winter jujube fruit pigmentation by promoting the expression of ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H). In addition, ZjNAC13, ZjNAC14, ZjNAC38 and ZjNAC41 were highly expressed in half-red and full-red jujube fruit and may be involved in the jujube fruit ripening process [108].…”

The NAC transcription factor (TF) family is one of the largest plant-specific TF families and its members are involved in the regulation of many vital biological processes during plant growth and development. Recent studies have found that NAC TFs play important roles during the ripening of fleshy fruits and the development of quality attributes. This review focuses on the advances in our understanding of the function of NAC TFs in different fruits and their involvement in the biosynthesis and signal transduction of plant hormones, fruit textural changes, color transformation, accumulation of flavor compounds, seed development and fruit senescence. We discuss the theoretical basis and potential regulatory models for NAC TFs action and provide a comprehensive view of their multiple roles in modulating different aspects of fruit ripening and quality.
