Genome-wide identification and characterization of alfalfa-specific genes in drought stress tolerance.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a prominent and distinct species within the pasture germplasm innovation industry. However, drought poses a substantial constraint on the yield and distribution of alfalfa by adversely affecting its growth.

Genome-Wide Identification of the Trihelix Transcription Factor Family and Functional Analysis of the Drought Stress-Responsive Genes in .

The trihelix gene family is a plant-specific family of transcription factors that play an important role in many metabolic pathways, including plant growth and development and stress responses. Drought stress is a major factor limiting the distribution and yield of . However, the distribution of this gene family in and its biological functions in response to drought stress have not been reported.

Genome-Wide Identification of ERF Transcription Factor Family and Functional Analysis of the Drought Stress-Responsive Genes in .

As an important forage legume with high values in feed and medicine, has been widely cultivated. The AP2/ERF transcription factor has been shown to play an important regulatory role in plant drought resistance, but it has not been reported in the legume forage crop . To digger the genes of in response to drought stress, we identified and analyzed the ERF gene family of at the genome-wide level.
