NODULE-INCEPTION-Like Protein (NLP) is a plant-specific transcription factor that plays a crucial role in nitrate uptake and stress responses. However, studies of gene family in coconut are lacking. In this study, 7 genes in the and 6 genes in coconut varities were identified.

The family, a group of trans-membrane phosphate transporters, is crucial for phosphate transport, distribution, and homeostasis regulation. Two genes, and , were first identified in sweet potato, and a phylogenetic analysis of 46 species showed high conservation of the gene family throughout plant evolution.

MYB proteins, a large and diverse family of transcription factors (TF), play crucial roles in plant responses to various abiotic stresses, but their genome-wide characterization and functional roles in coconut have not been comprehensively explored. This study identified 214 genes (39 1R-MYB, 171 R2R3-MYB, 2 3R-MYB, and 2 4R-MYB) in the coconut genome.
