The CCCH-tandem zinc-finger protein OsTZF1 positively regulates basal immunity but suppresses Piz-t-mediated blast resistance in rice

Function identification of miR159a, a positive regulator during poplar resistance to drought stress

Abstract Drought seriously affects the growth and development of plants. MiR159 is a highly conserved and abundant microRNA family that plays a crucial role in plant growth and stress responses. However, studies of its function in woody plants are still lacking. Here, the expression of miR159a was significantly upregul...
