The C-repeat binding factors (CBFs) gene is essential for plants' cold response, which could not only be induced by the inducer of CBF expression (ICE) genes but also activated the expression of the cold-regulated (COR) gene, thereby participating in the ICE-CBF-COR cold response pathway. However, this gene family and its functions in remain unclear. In this study, whole-genome identification and functional analysis of family members in were performed.

Research has demonstrated that proteins belonging to the 14-3-3 family play a pivotal regulatory function in the ability of plants to resist stress. However, this specific roles of the genes in kiwifruit cold tolerance remain unclear.

Herein, we analyzed the transcriptomic data of dormant shoots in response to low-temperature treatment, identified 52 MYB genes, and constructed a phylogenetic tree based on the encoded protein sequences. Then, the effect of one gene on cold tolerance was analyzed.
