The AT-hook motif nuclear-localized (AHL) family members play key roles in plant biological processes via protein–protein and protein-DNA interactions. Here, 22 non-redundant PpAHL genes were identified and analyzed in peach (Prunus persica), one of economically important non-timber forestry crops. The maximum-likelihood (ML) tree classified the PpAHLs into two clades (Clade-A and Clade-B) with three subfamilies: Type_I, Type_II, and Type_III. Exon–intron analysis exhibited that the PpAHLs from Type_I except one (Prupe.1G530300.1) lacked intr...
