Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaZFP1B
• Gene Name: C2H2 zinc finger protein
• Genome:
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpression of TaZFP1B stimulates plant growth and up-regulates different oxidative stress-responsive genes under well-watered conditions.
• Plants that overexpress TaZFP1B are more drought tolerant at critical periods of the plant’s life cycle.
• In contrast, plants transformed to underexpress TaZFP1B are significantly less tolerant to drought and growth is negatively affected.
• The extent of transcriptome reprogramming in plants that overexpress TaZFP1B indicates that the encoded transcription factor is a key regulator of drought tolerance in wheat.
