The FBN gene family is essential to many biological processes, including plant development and response to a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses. However, there is currently no information about this gene family in maize. In this study, we performed a genome-wide study of the FBN gene family in maize, identified 6 ZmFBN genes by a different bioinformatics method, and further characterized them to understand their structure and function. For this purpose, genome-wide analysis is performed to identify the non-redundant FBN genes in the genome of maize. This research aims to explore the function of FBN genes in maize. Genomic and CDS sequences were used to reveal structural features. The evolutionary analysis was performed by constructing a phylogenetic tree. Synonymous and non-synonymous (Ka/Ks) ratios were also calculated for ZmFBN. Gene expression analysis was performed by using the NCBI GEO dataset and a heat map generated to identify the abiotic stress genes of FBN in maize. According to our results one out of six members ZmFBN3 (Zm00001d002384) of FBN gene family was regulated under stress condition, and supported the maize plant under abiotic condition.
