Tomato HsfA1a plays a critical role in plant drought tolerance by activating ATG genes and inducing autophagy

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy plays critical roles in plant responses to stress. In contrast to the wealth of information concerning the core process of plant autophagosome assembly, our understanding of the regulation of autophagy is limited. In this study, we demonstrated that transcription factor HsfA1a played a critical role in tomato tolerance to drought stress, in part through its positive role in induction of autophagy under...
