Genome-Wide Identification of the ZmNF-Y Transcription Factor Family in Maize and Functional Characterization of ZmNF-YA7 in Drought Tolerance

The nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription factor family plays crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, studies on the NF-Y family in maize remain relatively limited. In this study, we identified 53 NF-Ys in the maize genome, which were classified into ZmNF-YA, ZmNF-YB, and ZmNF-YC subf...
