ZmMYC7 negatively regulates salt tolerance in maize through ZmMAPK3-mediated phosphorylation-dependent proteasomal degradation.
Salt stress severely limits maize growth and productivity, yet the molecular mechanisms controlling transcription factor stability during salt stress remain poorly understood. Here, we identified ZmMYC7 as a negative regulator of maize salt tolerance and uncovered its post-translational regulation by ZmMAPK3. ZmMYC7 wa...
