Abstract
The Trihelix family of transcription factors plays an important role in the plant’s response to various abiotic stress types. In this work in apple Golden Delicious genome we identified apple gene MD13G1109800 as a member of Triheilx family in silico. Analysis of chromosomal localization showed that it is located on chromosome 13 and has four introns. The hypothetical protein encoded by it has a length of 365 amino acid residues, a molecular weight of 42097.23 Da, an isoelectric point pI = 6.21 and located in the nucleus. Analysis of the promoter region of the MD13G1109800 gene indicates that its product is a member of many signaling pathways triggered by both external and internal factors. The expression level of the MD13G1109800 gene increases under drought, low and high temperatures, as well as salinity in the MM-106 apple rootstock.
