Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PeSTZ1
• Gene Name: SALT TOLERANCE ZINC FINGER 1
• Genome:
• Species: Populus euphratica

Functional Descriptions:

• PeSTZ1, a C2H2-type zinc finger transcription factor from Populus euphratica, enhances freezing tolerance through modulation of ROS scavenging by directly regulating PeAPX2.
• PeSTZ1, a cysteine-2/histidine-2-type zinc finger transcription factor, was isolated from the desert poplar, Populus euphratica, which serves as a model stress adaptation system for trees.
• PeSTZ1 functions as a transcription activator to enhance freezing tolerance without sacrificing growth.
• PeSTZ1 may operate in parallel with C-REPEAT-BINDING FACTORS to regulate COLD-REGULATED gene expression. Moreover, PeSTZ1 up-regulation reduces malondialdehyde and ROS accumulation by activating the antioxidant system.
• Overexpressing PeSTZ1 in 84K poplar enhances freezing tolerance through the modulation of ROS scavenging via the direct regulation of PeAPX2 expression.
