Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Among the candidate proteins, we identified a homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) class II protein and named it CaHAT1 (Capsicum annuum homeobox ABA signalling related- transcription factor 1).
  • Following the application of drought stress, CaHAT1-silenced pepper plants exhibited drought-sensitive phenotypes with reduced ABA-mediated stomatal closure and lower expression of stress-responsive genes compared with control plants.
  • Pepper homeobox abscisic acid signalling-related transcription factor 1, CaHAT1, plays a positive role in drought response.
  • This study advances our understanding of CaHAT1–CaSnRK2.6 mediated defence mechanisms in pepper plants against drought stress.
