    Abstract:
    Cymbidium sinense, a type of orchid plant, is more drought-resistant and ornamental than other terrestrial orchids. Research has shown that many members of the NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) transcription factor family are responsive to plant growth, development, and abiotic stress. However, the mechanism of the NF-Y gene family's response to abiotic stress in orchids has not yet been reported. In this study, phylogenetic analysis allowed for 27 CsNF-Y genes to be identified (5 CsNF-YAs, 9 CsNF-YBs, and 13 CsNF-YC subunits), and the CsNF-Ys were homologous to those in Arabidopsis and Oryza. Protein structure analysis revealed that different subfamilies contained different motifs, but all of them contained Motif 2. Secondary and tertiary protein structure analysis indicated that the CsNF-YB and CsNF-YC subfamilies had a high content of alpha helix structures. Cis-element analysis showed that elements related to drought stress were mainly concentrated in the CsNF-YB and CsNF-YC subfamilies, with CsNF-YB3 and CsNF-YC12 having the highest content. The results of a transcriptome analysis showed that there was a trend of downregulation of almost all CsNF-Ys in leaves under drought stress, while in roots, most members of the CsNF-YB subfamily showed a trend of upregulation. Additionally, seven genes were selected for real-time reverse transcription quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments. The results were generally consistent with those of the transcriptome analysis. The regulatory roles of CsNF-YB 1, 2, and 4 were particularly evident in the roots. The findings of our study may make a great contribution to the understanding of the role of CsNF-Ys in stress-related metabolic processes.
