Abstract excerpt
The constitutive expression of the rice Osmyb4 gene in Arabidopsis plants gives rise to enhanced abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, probably by activating several stress-inducible pathways. However, the effect of Osmyb4 on stress tolerance likely depends on the genetic background of the transformed species. In this study, we explored the potential of Osmyb4 to enhance the cold and freezing tolerance of...
