A Rice OsAP23, Functioning as an AP2/ERF Transcription Factor, Reduces Salt Tolerance in Transgenic Arabidopsis
The AP2/ERF transcription factors of higher plants regulate transcriptional networks that control development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, the rice OsAP23 gene, which encodes an AP...
