Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g09830
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0191600
• Gene Symbol: OsbZIP16
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Here, we characterized the function of a rice bZIP transcription factor OsbZIP16 in drought stress.
• Basic leucine zipper transcription factor OsbZIP16 positively regulates drought resistance in rice.
• At both the seedling and tillering stages, transgenic rice plants overexpressing OsbZIP16 exhibited significantly improved drought resistance, which was positively correlated with the observed expression levels of OsbZIP16.
• Expression of OsbZIP16 was dramatically induced under drought conditions.
• Overall, our findings suggest that OsbZIP16 positively regulates drought resistance in rice.
• OsbZIP16 was shown to be induced by exogenous ABA treatment, while overexpression of OsbZIP16 was observed to make transgenic plants more sensitive to ABA than wild type plants were.
