WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors are unique to plants and play pivotal roles in plant development and stress responses. In this investigation, we acquired protein sequences of foxtail millet
gene family members through homologous sequence alignment and a hidden Markov model (HMM) search. Utilizing conserved domain prediction, we identified 13 foxtail millet
genes, which were classified into ancient, intermediate, and modern clades. Multiple sequence alignment results revealed that all WOX proteins possess a homeodomain (HD). The
genes, clustered together in the phylogenetic tree, exhibited analogous protein spatial structures, gene structures, and conserved motifs. The foxtail millet
genes are distributed across 7 chromosomes, featuring 3 pairs of tandem repeats:
and
,
and
, and
and
. Collinearity analysis demonstrated that
genes in foxtail millet exhibit the highest collinearity with green foxtail, followed by maize. The
genes primarily harbor two categories of
-acting regulatory elements: Stress response and plant hormone response. Notably, prominent hormones triggering responses include methyl jasmonate, abscisic acid, gibberellin, auxin, and salicylic acid. Analysis of
expression patterns and hormone responses unveiled potential functional diversity among different
genes in foxtail millet. These findings lay a solid foundation for further elucidating the functions and evolution of
genes.
