摘要： Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are important regulators of biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. Currently, the Hsf gene family is not well understood in cassava, an important tropical crop. In the present study, 32 MeHsf genes were identified from the cassava genome database, which were divided into three types based on functional domain and motif distribution analyses. Analysis of the differential expression of the genes belonging to the Hsf family in cassava was carried out based on published cassava transcriptome data from tissues/organs (leaf blade, leaf midvein, lateral buds, organized embryogenic structures, friable embryogenic callus, fibrous roots, storage roots, stem, petiole, shoot apical meristem, and root apical meristem) under abiotic stress (cold, drought) or biotic stress (mealybugs. cassava brown streak disease, cassava bacterial blight). The results show the expression diversity of cassava Hsfs genes in various tissues/organs. The transcript levels of MeHsfB3a, MeHsfA6a, MeHsfA2a, and MeHsfA9b were upregulated by abiotic and biotic stresses, such as cold, drought, cassava bacterial blight, cassava brown streak disease, and mealybugs, indicating their potential roles in mediating the response of cassava plants to environment stresses. Further interaction network and co-expression analyses suggests that Hsf genes may interact with Hsp70 family members to resist environmental stresses in cassava. These results provide valuable information for future studies of the functional characterization of the MeHsf gene family.
