Cloning and transformation of INDUCER of CBF EXPRESSION1 (ICE1) in tomato

X. H. Yu, Juan, J. X., Gao, Z. L., Zhang, Y., Li, W. Y., and Jiang, X. M., Cloning and transformation of INDUCER of CBF EXPRESSION1 (ICE1) in tomato, vol. 14, pp. 13131-13143, 2015.

The tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) is sensitive to cold, and low field temperatures can result in shortened growth periods and decreased crop yield. Transcription of CRT/DRE-binding factor (CBF) is regulated by INDUCER of CBF EXPRESSION1 (ICE1). CBF activates many downstream genes that confer cold tolerance on plants. ICE1 has been used in genetic engineering to improve cold-resistance in several plant species.

Genomic identification of group A bZIP transcription factors and their responses to abiotic stress in carrot

F. Que, Wang, G. L., Huang, Y., Xu, Z. S., Wang, F., and Xiong, A. S., Genomic identification of group A bZIP transcription factors and their responses to abiotic stress in carrot, vol. 14, pp. 13274-13288, 2015.

The basic-region/leucine-zipper (bZIP) family is one of the major transcription factor (TF) families associated with responses to abiotic stresses. Many members of group A in this family have been extensively examined and are reported to perform significant functions in ABA signaling as well as in responses to abiotic stresses. In this study, 10 bZIP factors in carrot were classified into group A based on their DNA-binding domains. The cis-acting regulatory elements and folding states of these 10 factors were analyzed.
