Plant-specific TCP transcription factors play an essential role in plant growth and development. They can regulate leaf curvature, flower symmetry and the synthesis of secondary metabolites. The flavonoids in
Ginkgo biloba
leaf are one of the main medicinally bioactivate compounds, which have pharmacological and beneficial health effects for humans. In this study, a total of 13
TCP
genes were identified in
G. biloba
, and 5 of them belonged to PCF subclades (
GbTCP03, GbTCP07, GbTCP05, GbTCP13, GbTCP02
) while others belonged to CIN (
GbTCP01, GbTCP04, GbTCP06, GbTCP08, GbTCP09, GbTCP10, GbTCP11, GbTCP12
) subclades according to phylogenetic analysis. Numerous
cis
-acting elements related to various biotic and abiotic signals were predicted on the promoters by
cis
-element analysis, suggesting that the expression of
GbTCPs
might be co-regulated by multiple signals. Transcript abundance analysis exhibited that most of
GbTCPs
responded to multiple phytohormones. Among them, the relative expression levels of
GbTCP06, GbTCP11
, and
GbTCP13
were found to be significantly influenced by exogenous ABA, SA and MeJA application. In addition, a total of 126 miRNAs were predicted to target 9
TCPs
(including
GbTCP01, GbTCP02, GbTCP04, GbTCP05, GbTCP06, GbTCP08, GbTCP11, GbTCP12, GbTCP13
). The correlation analysis between the expression level of
GbTCPs
and the flavonoid contents showed that
GbTCP03, GbTCP04, GbTCP07
might involve in flavonoid biosynthesis in
G. biloba
. In short, this study mainly provided a theoretical foundation for better understanding the potential function of
TCPs
in
G. biloba
.
