Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: AaHD8
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Artemisia annua

Functional Descriptions:

• Identify a homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) IV transcription factor, AaHD8, directly promoting the expression of AaHD1 for glandular trichome initiation in Artemisia annua.
• AaHD8 positively regulated leaf cuticle development in A. annua via controlling the expression of cuticle-related enzyme genes.
• AaHD8 interacted with a MIXTA-like protein AaMIXTA1, a positive regulator of trichome initiation and cuticle development, forming a regulatory complex and leading to enhanced transcriptional activity in regulating the expression of AaHD1 and cuticle development genes.
• Our results reveal a molecular mechanism by which a novel HD-ZIP IV/MIXTA (AaHD8) complex plays a significant role in regulating epidermal development, including glandular trichome initiation and cuticle formation.
