“…The TCP transcription factor family has been identified in a diverse array of plants, but unlike other transcription factor families, such as MYB (V-myb avian myeloblastosis viral), WRKY (WRKY proteins contain one or two conserved WRKYGQK motifs at the N-terminus and a typical zinc-finger motif (C2H2 and C2HC) at the C-terminus), and NAC (The name of the NAC gene family is composed of the initials NAM (No apical meristem from Petunia hybrida ), AF1/2 (transcriptional activator 1/2 from Arabidopsis thaliana ), and CUC2 (cup-shaped cotyledon from Arabidopsis thaliana ) transcription factors. ), the TCP family usually comprises fewer members, with 24 in Arabidopsis thaliana [ 11 ], 32 in morning glory ( Catharanthus roseus ) [ 12 ], 27 in watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus ) [ 13 ], 26 in Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa ) [ 14 ], 30 in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) [ 15 ], 20 in citrus ( Citrus ) [ 16 ], 26 in bitter buckwheat ( Fagopyrum esculentum ) [ 17 ], 40 in moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubescens ) [ 18 ], 18 in grape ( Vitis vinifera ) [ 19 ], and 62 in blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum ) [ 20 ]. The functions of the TCP family have been revealed over time, from initially preventing axillary bud tip growth [ 5 ] and controlling floral symmetry [ 6 ] to addressing abiotic stresses [ 14 , 16 , 17 ], biotic stresses [ 21 ], plant height [ 13 ], fruit maturation [ 15 ], anthocyanin accumulation [ 9 , 22 ], hormonal pathways [ 19 ], and bud dormancy [ 20 ].…”
