AtMYB44 belongs to the R2R3 MYB subgroup 22 transcription factor family in Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana). Treatment with abscisic acid (ABA) induced AtMYB44 transcript …

Rice (Oryza sativa), a monocotyledonous plant that does not cold acclimate, has evolved
differently from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), which cold acclimates. To understand …

Trehalose plays an important role in stress tolerance in plants. Trehalose-producing,
transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) plants were generated by the introduction of a gene encoding …

Jasmonates play important roles in development, stress responses and defense in plants.
Here, we report the results of a study using a functional genomics approach that identified a …

C‐repeat/dehydration‐responsive element binding factors (CBF/DREBs) are a family of
transcription factors that regulate freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. As a step towards …

We cloned a salicylic acid/benzoic acid carboxyl methyltransferase gene, OsBSMT1, from
Oryza sativa. A recombinant OsBSMT1 protein obtained by expressing the gene in …

The expression of the six rice ASR genes is differentially regulated in a tissue-dependent
manner according to environmental conditions and reproductive stages. OsASR1 and …

Expression patterns of a rice (Oryza sativa) cytochrome c gene OsCc1 and its promoter
activity were characterized in transgenic rice plants. OsCc1 transcripts accumulate in most …

Main conclusion OsbZIP42 is a positive regulator of ABA signaling and drought stress
tolerance. The activation of OsbZIP42 depends on stress-/ABA-activated protein kinase 4 …

Plants have evolved strategies to cope with drought stress by maximizing physiological
capacity and adjusting developmental processes such as flowering time. The WOX13 …
