“…8 – 10 ). Similarly, AtZAT18 was demonstrated to be involved in drought tolerance in Arabidopsis [ 65 ], and OfZAT35 is an important regulator of cold tolerance in transgenic tobacco [ 66 ]. We also found that there is a large overlap of Q-type NnZFP genes has multiple roles in three or more stresses (Fig.…”

Background Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera G.) is an important aquatic plant with high ornamental, economic, cultural and ecological values, but abiotic stresses seriously affect its growth and distribution. Q-type C2H2 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) play an important role in plant growth development and environmental stress responses. Although the Q-type C2H2 gene family has been identified in some plants, limited reports has been carried out it in lotus. Results In this study, we identified 45 Q-type NnZFP members in lotus. Based on the phylogenetic tree, these Q-type NnZFP gene family members were divided into 4 groups, including C1-1i, C1-2i, C1-3i and C1-4i. Promoter cis-acting elements analysis indicated that most Q-type NnZFP gene family members in lotus were associated with response to abiotic stresses. Through collinearity analyses, no tandem duplication gene pairs and 14 segmental duplication gene pairs were identified, which showed that duplication events might play a key role in the expansion of the Q-type NnZFP gene family. The synteny results suggested that 54 and 28 Q-type NnZFP genes were orthologous to Arabidopsis and rice, respectively. The expression patterns of these Q-type NnZFP genes revealed that 30 Q-type NnZFP genes were expressed in at least one lotus tissue. Nn5g30550 showed relatively higher expression levels in all tested tissues. 12 genes were randomly selected with at least one gene from each phylogenetic clade, and the expression of these selected genes were confirmed by qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). The results indicated that Q-type NnZFP genes were extensively involved in cadmium, drought, salt and cold stresses responses. Among them, 11 genes responded to at least three different stress treatments, especially Nn2g12894, which induced by all four treatments. Conclusions These results could increase our understanding of the characterization of the Q-type NnZFP gene family and provide relevant information for further functional analysis of Q-type NnZFP genes in plant development, and abiotic stress tolerance in lotus.

Recent research findings established the cruciality of Cys2/His2-type Zinc Finger Proteins (C2H2-ZFPs) in plant growth and their relevance in coping with various stressors. Nevertheless, the complex structure of the C2H2-ZFPs network and the molecular mechanisms of response to stress in adversity have received considerable attention and now require more in-depth examination. This paper reviews the structural characteristics, classification, and recent functional research advances of C2H2-ZFPs. In addition, it systematically introduces the roles of these proteins across diverse facets of plant biology, encompassing growth and development, responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, and laying the foundation for future functional studies of C2H2-ZFPs.
