Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation The drought response-related candidate gene ZmbZIP92 was cloned from maize following a comparative genomic analysis.
- Observation ZmbZIP92 exhibits tissue-specific expression patterns.
- Intervention effect ZmbZIP92 expression was significantly induced by drought.
- Intervention effect ZmbZIP92 expression was significantly induced by high salinity.
- Intervention effect ZmbZIP92 expression was significantly induced by abscisic acid treatment.
- Observation ZmbZIP92 is a nuclear protein.
- Observation Yeast-based assays showed ZmbZIP92 lacks transcriptional self-activation.
- Observation Dual-luciferase reporter assays showed ZmbZIP92 binds specifically to the G-box (CACGTG) cis-element.
- Intervention effect Overexpressing ZmbZIP92 in Arabidopsis thaliana significantly promoted root elongation.
- Intervention effect Overexpressing ZmbZIP92 in Arabidopsis thaliana enhanced drought tolerance.
- Intervention effect Overexpressing ZmbZIP92 in Arabidopsis thaliana increased sensitivity to ABA, reflected by markedly inhibited seed germination.
- Observation RNA sequencing indicated that multiple stress response-related pathways, including ABA signalling, antioxidant response, transmembrane transport and general signal transduction, were enriched in ZmbZIP92-overexpressing plants.
- Mechanism ZmbZIP92 positively regulates drought tolerance through effects on the ABA signalling pathway and other stress response-related signalling networks.
