Abstract excerpt
Homeodomain-leucine zipper proteins constitute a family of transcription factors found only in plants. Hahb-4 is a member of Helianthus annuus (sunflower) subfamily I. It is regulated at the transcriptional level by water availability and abscisic acid. In order to establish if this gene plays a functional role in drought responses, transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants that overexpress Hahb-4 under the control...
