Functional Descriptions:

  • Overexpression of the class I homeodomain transcription factor TaHDZipI-5 increases drought and frost tolerance in transgenic wheat.
  • The findings of this work defined the role of the wheat TaHDZipI-5 gene, encoding a stress-responsive homeodomain–leucine zipper class I (HD-Zip I) transcription factor, during the development of plant tolerance to frost and drought.
  • Strong induction of TaHDZipI-5 expression by low temperatures, and the elevated TaHDZipI-5 levels of expression in flowers and early developing grains in the absence of stress, suggests that TaHDZipI-5 is involved in the regulation of frost tolerance at flowering.
  • The constitutive overexpression of TaHDZipI-5 in bread wheat significantly enhanced frost and drought tolerance of transgenic wheat lines with the appearance of undesired phenotypic features, which included a reduced plant size and biomass, delayed flowering and a grain yield decrease.
