Abstrakt:	Trihelix transcription factors (TF) are photoresponsive proteins featuring a characteristic three-helix structure (helix-loop-helix-loop-helix) and contain the Myb/SANT-LIKE (MSL) domain. They perform crucial functions in the development and stress-response of plants. However, the function of the Trihelix TF in potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) remains unknown. In the present study, forty-three StMSL s were characterized in the potato genome and named StMSL1 to StMSL43 . Structural domain analysis revealed that motifs 1 and 2 may play a central role in the implementation of trihelix gene functions, and motifs 4 and 9 may be related to specific functions of StMSL. Phylogenetic analysis divided the StMSLs into six groups (SIP1, GT1, GT2, GTγ, SH4 and GT3). The GT3 group, which is rarely identified in the Trihelix TF family, contained three StMSLs. The 43 StMSLs were unevenly distributed on 12 chromosomes in potato and comprised two pairs of tandem duplication and five pairs of segmental duplication genes. Additionally, RNA-Seq analysis found that 36 out of the 43 StMSLs were expressed in at least one of the 12 tissues, with some exhibiting tissue-specific expression patterns. Trihelix transcriptional regulation network analysis identified 387 genes as potential targets of the 36 StMSL genes, and these genes have a wide variety of functions. Furthermore, RNA-Seq analysis revealed that at least 18 StMSLs were upregulated in response to osmotic stress. The induced pattern of eight StMSLs was subsequently validated using qRT-PCR. This study provides a detailed insight into the StMSLs of the potato and lays the foundation for further analysis of the functions of the Trihelix gene in plant development.
