%T GENOME-WIDE IDENTIFICATION AND COMPUTATIONAL 
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NUCLEAR FACTOR-YC SUB-UNITS 
IN GRAIN AMARANTH (Amaranthus hypochondriacus)
%X Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) has been known as one of the plant-specific 
transcription factors that play key roles in numerous biological processes during 
the growth and development of plant species. In this study, a comprehensive 
analysis of NF-YC sub-units in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) 
was carried out based on the bioinformatics approaches. Firstly, a total of five 
members of the NF-YC sub-units was reported in the grain amaranth. Its structural 
analyses revealed that the NF-YC sub-units were variable in physic-chemical 
properties, like protein sizes, molecular masses, isoelectric point, instability index,
and grand average of hydropathy. Of our interest, the expression profiles of genes 
encoding NF-YC sub-units in various tissues/organs during the growth and 
development of grain amaranth. We found that three genes, including AhNF-YC01, 
AhNF-YC04, and AhNF-YC05 were highly expressed in leaf, root, floral, immature 
seed, and stem tissues. Interestingly, AhNF-YC05 was exclusively expressed in leaf 
and stem tissues. Taken together, our study could provide a solid understanding for 
further functional characterization of genes encoding NF-YC sub-units in grain 
amaranth.
