Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Zmhdz9, an HD-Zip transcription factor, promotes drought stress resistance in maize by modulating ABA and lignin accumulation.
  • Therefore, in this study we investigated the HD-Zip transcription factor gene Zmhdz9, and yeast activation experiments demonstrated that Zmhdz9 exhibited transcriptional activation activity. Under drought stress, high abscisic acid (ABA) and lignin levels significantly improved drought resistance in maize.
  • Additionally, Zmhdz9 promoted direct transcription of ZmTCP9 in the GGTCA motif, activating elements of the ZmKNOX8 promoter, which encodes a key enzyme in lignin synthesis. This study showed that the regulation of ABA and lignin by Zmhdz9 is essential for drought stress resistance in maize.
