The BBX family and their response to abiotic stress in ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe).

Background: Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), a plant of considerable medicinal and culinary importance, frequently encounters adverse environmental challenges in cultivation. While BBX genes are recognized as fundamental regulators of plant growth and developmental processes, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, a comprehensive characterization of the BBX gene family in ginger has yet to be fully accomplished.

Result: This study identified 31 members of the BBX gene family in ginger, designated as ZoBBXs, and analyzed their principal characteristics.
