Abstract excerpt
HAHB4 belongs to the sunflower subfamily I of HD-Zip proteins and is involved in drought-tolerance response and ethylene-mediated senescence. Cross-talk between these two processes through this transcription factor was recently described. In this study it is shown that the expression of HAHB4 is induced in darkness and quickly disappears when plants are exposed to light. This regulation of HAHB4 was confirmed at...
