Here, we identified the zinc-finger protein B-BOX 7/CONSTANS-LIKE 9 (MdBBX7/MdCOL9), which plays a positive role in apple drought tolerance. The overexpression of MdBBX7 enhanced drought tolerance, whereas knocking down MdBBX7 expression reduced it. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-...
Enhancing drought tolerance in crops and understanding the underlying mechanisms have been subject of intense research. The precise function and molecular mechanisms of B-box zinc finger proteins (BBX) remain elusive. Here, we report a natural allele ofBBX18(BBX18TT) that encodes aC-terminal trunca...
Fig. 3. SB1 encodes a RING-like zinc finger protein. A, Phylogenetic tree analysis. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor- joining method based on the Jone-Taylor- Thornton matrix-based model, and bootstrap support values calculated from 1 000 replicates are given at the br...
conditions, which was caused by a T-DNA insertion in the second intron of the gene encoding a putative zinc finger protein (Wu et al.2008). However, in the current study, the point mutation in the zinc finger motif of the Ehd2/RID1/OsID1 protein in theghd10plants conferred obvious ...
