Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: SpERF1 acts as a positive regulator, contributing to drought stress tolerance in A. thaliana through activating DRE/CRT elements in the promoters of abiotic stress-responsive genes. Stipa purpurea is an endemic perennial grass species in alpine arid and semi-arid meadows on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, which is highly tolerant against drought and cold. ERF transcription factors are known to regulate...
