C2H2 Zinc-Finger Transcription Factors Coordinate Hormone–Stress Crosstalk to Shape Expression Bias of the Flavonoid Pathway in Safflower (<em>Carthamus tinctorius</em> L.)
2025-11-04
Abstract excerpt
C2H2-type zinc-finger proteins (ZFPs) are key transcriptional regulators of plant stress biology, yet their diversity and function in safflower remain unclear. Leveraging the “Jihong-1” reference, we investigated the C2H2 repertoire in safflower and identified 62 CtC2H2 genes. Comparative phylogeny with Arabidopsis resolved six robust subfamilies that share diagnostic exon-intron organizations and the conserved QA...
