The plant-specific SHI-related sequence (SRS) family of transcription factors plays a vital role in growth regulation, plant development, phytohormone biosynthesis, and stress response. However, the genome-wide identification and role in the abiotic stress-related functions of the SRS gene family were not reported in white sweet clover (Melilotus albus). In this study, nine M.

Although genes have been reported in many model organisms, no comprehensive study has yet been conducted on the BBX genes in , and the biological functions of this family remain unknown. In this study, a total of 20 (MaBBX) genes were identified in .
