The promoter binding protein (SBP)-box gene family is a plant-specific transcription factor family. This family plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. In this study, 20 SBP-box genes were identified in the tea plant genome and classified into six groups. The genes in each group shared similar exon-intron structures and motif positions. Expression pattern analyses in five different tissues demonstrated that expression in the buds and leaves was higher than that in other tissues. The -elements and expression patterns of the genes suggested that the genes play active roles in abiotic stress responses; these responses may depend on the abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellic acid (GA), and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) signaling pathways. Our work provides a comprehensive understanding of the family and will aid in genetically improving tea plants.

Pepper SBP-box transcription factor, , plays a negatively role in drought response.

Front Plant Sci

July 2024

College of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Henan Institute of Science and Technology, Xinxiang, Henan, China.

The SBP-box gene significantly influences plant growth, development, and stress responses, yet its function in pepper plants during drought stress remains unexplored. Using virus-induced gene silencing and overexpression strategies, we examined the role of during drought stress in plants. The results revealed that the expression of can be induced by drought stress.

The SPL gene family (for Squamosa Promoter-binding like Proteins) represents specific transcription factors that have significant roles in abiotic stress tolerance, development and the growth processes of different plants, including initiation of the leaf, branching and development of shoot and fruits. The SPL gene family has been studied in different plant species; however, its role is not yet fully explored in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan ). In the present study, 11 members of the CcSPL gene family were identified in C.

Identification of flowering genes in Camellia perpetua by comparative transcriptome analysis.

Funct Integr Genomics

December 2023

State Key Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Subtropical Agro-Bioresources, College of Forestry, Guangxi University, Nanning, 530000, China.

Camellia perpetua has the excellent characteristic of flowering multiple times throughout the year, which is of great importance to solve the problem of "short flowering period" and "low fresh flower yield" in the yellow Camellia industry at present. Observations of flowering phenology have demonstrated that most floral buds of C. perpetua were formed by the differentiation of axillary buds in the scales at the base of the terminal buds of annual branches.

Article Synopsis
  • - Two closely related plant species, Chimonanthus praecox and Chimonanthus salicifolius, diverged about six million years ago and have different flowering times, with C. praecox blooming in early spring and C. salicifolius in autumn, but both can endure short periods of cold at -15 °C.
  • - The study identified a total of 33 SBP (SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein) genes in these species, examining their chromosomal locations, structures, and conserved motifs, finding 15 in C. praecox and 18 in C. salicifolius.
  • - Analysis of gene expression showed that more SBP genes were less active in
