Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MD08G1086500
• Gene Symbol: MhZAT10
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
• Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

• Transcription factors MhDREB2A/MhZAT10 play a role in drought and cold stress response crosstalk in apple.
• Apple transcription factor DEHYDRATION RESPONSE ELEMENT-BINDING PROTEIN 2A (DREB2A) is a direct regulator activating the expression of MhZAT10 in response to drought stress.
• Heterologous expression of MhZAT10 in the sensitive rootstock ‘G935’ from domesticated apple (Malus domestica) promoted shoot-shriveling tolerance, while silencing of MhZAT10 expression in the tolerant rootstock ‘SH6’ of Malus honanensis reduced stress tolerance.
• Apple plants overexpressing both MhDREB2A and MhZAT10 genes exhibited enhanced tolerance to drought and cold stress, while plants overexpressing MhDREB2A but with silenced expression of MhZAT10 showed reduced tolerance, suggesting a critical role of MhDREB2A-MhZAT10 in the crosstalk between drought and cold stress responses.
