    Comprehensive identification of maize ZmE2F transcription factors and the positive role of ZmE2F6 in response to drought stress

    The early 2 factor (E2F) family is characterized as a kind of transcription factor that plays an important role in cell division, DNA damage repair, and cell size regulation. However, its stress response has n...

    Maize ZmLAZ1-3 gene negatively regulates drought tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis

    Molecular mechanisms in response to drought stress are important for the genetic improvement of maize. In our previous study, nine ZmLAZ1 members were identified in the maize genome, but the function of ZmLAZ1 wa...
