The Nuclear Factor-Y (NF-Y) transcription factor (TF), which includes three distinct subunits (NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC), is known to manipulate various aspects of plant growth, development, and stress responses. Although theNF-Ygene family was well studied in many species, little is known about their functions in potato. In this study, a total of 37 potatoNF-Ygenes were identified, including 11StNF-YAs, 20StNF-YBs, and 6StNF-YCs. The genetic features of theseStNF-Ygenes were investigated by comparing their evolutionary relationship, intron/exon organization and motif distribution pattern. Multiple alignments showed that all StNF-Y proteins possessed clearly conserved core regions that were flanked by non-conserved sequences. Gene duplication analysis indicated that nineStNF-Ygenes were subjected to tandem duplication and eightStNF-Ys arose from segmental duplication events. Synteny analysis suggested that mostStNF-Ygenes (33 of 37) were orthologous to potato’s close relative tomato (Solanum lycopersicumL.). Tissue-specific expression of theStNF-Ygenes suggested their potential roles in controlling potato growth and development. The role ofStNF-Ys in regulating potato responses to abiotic stress (ABA, drought and salinity) was also confirmed: twelveStNF-Ygenes were up-regulated and another two were down-regulated under different abiotic treatments. In addition, genes responded differently to pathogen challenges, suggesting thatStNF-Ygenes may play distinct roles under certain biotic stress. In summary, insights into the evolution of NF-Y family members and their functions in potato development and stress responses are provided.
