Other claims from this paper (11)
- Mechanism ZmSKIP enhances drought tolerance in maize.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of ZmSKIP promoted stomatal closure.
- Mechanism ZmSKIP directly binds the TAATA motif in the ZmBAG8 promoter.
- Observation bag8 mutants had decreased water loss under drought stress.
- Observation bag8 mutants had reduced stomatal aperture under drought stress.
- Mechanism ZmBAG8 recruits ZmSKIP in stress granules and decreases its nuclear abundance.
- Association Increased ZmBAG8 expression enlarged stomatal aperture.
- Association Increased ZmBAG8 expression supported normal plant growth.
- Intervention effect Drought stress abolished the ZmSKIP–ZmBAG8 interaction.
- Mechanism ZmSnRK2.3 phosphorylates ZmSKIP at Ser236 and Ser244 under drought stress.
- Mechanism ZmSnRK2.3 phosphorylation of ZmSKIP enhances drought tolerance through stronger suppression of ZmBAG8 expression.
