Abiotic stress is the focus of passion fruit research since it harms the industry, in which high temperature is an important influencing factor. Dof transcription factors (TFs) act as essential regulators in stress conditions. TFs can protect against abiotic stress via a variety of biological processes. There is yet to be published a systematic study of the Dof (PeDof) family of passion fruit. This study discovered 13 PeDof family members by using high-quality genomes, and the members of this characterization were identified by bioinformatics. Transcriptome sequencing and qRT-PCR were used to analyze the induced expression of PeDofs under high-temperature stress during three periods, in which PeDof-11 was significantly induced with high expression. PeDof-11 was then chosen and converted into yeast, tobacco, and Arabidopsis, with the findings demonstrating that PeDof-11 could significantly respond to high-temperature stress. This research lays the groundwork for a better understanding of PeDof gene regulation under high-temperature stress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
