Chrysanthemum is a well-known ornamental plant with numerous uses.  WRKY  is a large family of transcription factors known for a variety of functions ranging from stress resistance to plant growth and development. Due to the limited research on the  WRKY  family in chrysanthemums, we examined them for the first time in  Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium . A total of 138  ClWRKY  genes were identified, which were classified into three groups. Group III in  C. lavandulifolium  contains 53 members, which is larger than group III of  Arabidopsis . The number of introns varied from one to nine in the  ClWRKY  gene family. The “WRKYGQK” motif is conserved in 118 members, while other members showed slight variations. AuR and GRE responsive  cis -acting elements were located in the promoter region of  WRKY  members, which are important for plant development and flowering induction. In addition, the W box was present in most genes; the recognition site for the  WRKY  gene may play a role in autoregulation and cross-regulation. The expression of the most variable 19 genes in terms of different parameters was observed at different stages. Among them, 10 genes were selected due to the presence of CpG islands, while nine genes were selected based on their close association with important  Arabidopsis  genes related to floral traits.  ClWRKY36  and  ClWRKY45  exhibit differential expression at flowering stages in the capitulum, while methylation is detected in three genes, including  ClWRKY31, ClWRKY100 , and  ClWRKY129.  Our results provide a basis for further exploration of  WRKY  members to find their functions in plant growth and development, especially in flowering traits.
