TCP transcription factors play crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development, and the response to abiotic stress. However, members of family Carthamus tinctorius L. have not been reported yet. To address this, we conducted a genome-wide analysis gene C. tinctorius. By using bioinformatics tools transcriptome data, identified 22 CtTCP genes unevenly distributed across 7 chromosomes. Collinear relationships were found 13 pairs, 14 involved whole-genome or segmental duplication events. Amino acid sequence alignment phylogenetic classified into Class I (PCF) II (CIN CYC/TB1). The motifs structures within each subgroup similar, contained unique motifs. Additionally, CtTCP1,3,22 confirmed localize nucleus as predicted. On basis data analysis, CtTCP5 CtTCP4 may significant development leaves flowers, respectively. Meanwhile, CtTCP4,11,12,15 might influence formation red petals qRT‒PCR showed that expression most upregulated after exposure ABA, drought, salt cold stresses. Specifically CtTCP1, 3, 5 shown important adverse This study provides insights functions their potential for improving stress tolerance flower color Future research should focus on functional validation breeding applications.
