Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • The down-stream target genes that directly regulated by MeHDZ14 were identified to dissect the underlying molecular mechanisms that MeHDZ14 regulating drought responses in cassava.
  • A homeodomain-leucine zipper I transcription factor, MeHDZ14, regulates internode elongation and leaf rolling in cassava.
  • MeHDZ14 bound to the promoter of caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase 1 (MeCOMT1), acting as a transcriptional repressor of genes involved in cell wall development. MeHDZ14 appears to act as a negative regulator of internode elongation and epidermal cell morphogenesis during cassava leaf development.
  • MeHDZ14 was found to regulate many drought-responsive genes, including genes involved in cell wall synthesis and expansion.
