Structural, Functional, and Evolutionary Characterization of Major Drought Transcription Factors Families in Maize

Drought is one of the major threats to the maize yield especially in subtropical production systems. Understanding the genes and regulatory mechanisms of drought tolerance is important to sustain the yield. Transcription factors (TFs) play a major role in gene regulation under drought stress. In the...
