Many studies in Arabidopsis and rice have demonstrated that HD-Zip transcription factors play important roles in plant development and responses to abiotic stresses. Although common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed food crops in the world, the function of the HD-Zip proteins in wheat is still largely unknown. | Characterization of wheat homeodomainleucine zipper family genes and functional analysis of TaHDZ5-6A in drought tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis
