Genome-wide identification of the phosphofructokinase gene family in maize (Zea mays L.) and their expression levels under abiotic stress and phytohormones
In this study, the structure, location and evolutionary relationship of maize PFK gene family members were analyzed for the first time. We identified the ZmPFK genes involved in stress and plant hormone response by combining promoter element analysis, transcriptome data, and RT-qPCR analysis. This study provides valuable insights into the involvement of maize glycolysis in stress response.
