- Key message
- 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
