Breeding crop plants with increased yield potential and improved tolerance to stressful
environments is critical for global food security. Drought stress (DS) adversely affects …

Transcription factors (TFs) play a significant role in signal transduction networks spanning
the perception of a stress signal and the expression of corresponding stress-responsive …

Exploring the molecular foundation of the gene-regulatory systems underlying agronomic
parameters or/and plant responses to both abiotic and biotic stresses is crucial for crop …

HD-ZIP proteins comprise a plant-specific transcription factor family, which play pivotal roles
in plant development and adaptation to ever-changing environment. Although HD-ZIP family …

Background The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) gene family is one of the plant-
specific transcription factor families, involved in plant development, growth, and in the …

The HD-ZIP (homeodomain-leucine zipper) genes hold significant importance in
transcriptional regulation, especially in plant development and responses to abiotic stresses …

In this study, the whole HD-Zip family members of G. hirsutum were identified, and GhHDZ76
was classified into the HD-Zip IV subgroup. GhHDZ76 was predominantly expressed in the 0 …

Gene duplication is a universal biological phenomenon that drives genomic variation and
diversity, plays a crucial role in plant evolution, and contributes to innovations in genetic …

Drought is the main limiting factor of maize productivity, therefore improving drought
tolerance in maize has potential practical importance. Cloning and functional verification of …

The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) family transcription factors play important roles
in plant growth and development. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely …
