Abstract:Background
Drought stress affects plant growth and development. DREB proteins play important roles in modulating plant growth, development, and stress responses, particularly under drought stress. To study the function of DREB transcription factors (TFs), we screened key DREB-regulating TFs for drought in Lotus japonicus.
Results
Forty-two DREB TFs were identified, and phylogenetic analysis of proteins from L. japonicus classified them into five su… Show more
