Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: MeHB16
  • Gene Name: homeodomain leucine-zipper I (HD-Zip I) TF
  • Genome:
  • Species: Manihot esculenta

Functional Descriptions:

  • KIN10-mediated HB16 protein phosphorylation and self-association improve cassava disease resistance by transcriptional activation of lignin biosynthesis genes.
  • Protein kinase MeKIN10 directly interacted with MeHB16 to promote its phosphorylation at Ser6, which in turn enhanced MeHB16 self-association and downstream lignin biosynthesis.
  • MeKIN10 physically interacted with MeHB16 to promote its protein phosphorylation at the S6 residue.
  • This study revealed the molecular network of MeKIN10-mediated MeHB16 protein phosphorylation improved cassava bacterial blight resistance by fine-tuning lignin biosynthesis and provides candidate genes and the defence molecule for improving cassava disease resistance.
