Nuclear factor Y alpha proteins (NF-YAsYa) is aare conserved transcription factor proteins in plants that plays a crucial role into plant growth and development andthat exhibits specific responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. This study employUsinged bioinformatics approaches to investigate the composition and potential biological functions of the NF-YA family genes in sorghum genome(Sorghum bicolor)., we The research involvedidentified nine SbNF-YA genes identifying the whole genome of the sorghum NF-YA gene family, analyzing its gene structure, physical and chemical properties, and evolutionary relationship, and verifying the expression characteristics of genes under drought stress by qRT-PCR. The findings revealed the identification of nine SbNF-YA gene family members in sorghum, which are unevenlyly distributeded on four of the ten sorghum chromosomes. Despite variations in gene structures, all
