Homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that
contain a homeodomain (HD) and a leucine zipper (LZ) domain. The highly conserved HD …

For many fruit crops, the colour of the fruit outwardly defines its eating quality. Fruit pigments
provide reproductive advantage for the plant as well as providing protection against …

As a subfamily of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, phytochrome-
interacting factors (PIFs) participate in regulating light-dependent growth and development …

Se in optimal concentrations may help to expand the plant tolerance to the different abiotic
stresses. In this regard, the effect of foliar application of sodium selenate (0, 2, 4, and 6 mg of …

The extensively studied MYB transcription factor (TF) family has significant functions in plant
development and stress responses. However, little is known about the role of MYB TFs in …

Capsicum (chili pepper) is a widely popular and highly consumed fruit crop with beneficial
secondary metabolites such as capsaicinoids, carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols …

The plant kingdom contains an enormous diversity of bioactive compounds which regulate
plant growth and defends against biotic and abiotic stress. Some of these compounds, like …

HD-Zip, a special class of transcription factors in high plants, has a role in plant development
and responding to external environmental stress. Heat stress has always been an important …

The mechanism of resistance of plants to cold temperatures is very complicated, and the
molecular mechanism and related gene network in pepper are largely unknown. Here …

Abstract Homeodomain-Leucine Zipper (HD-Zip) proteins are important ubiquitous and
diverse molecular chaperones in plants. We characterized a gene CaATHB-12 derived from …
