NtMYB78 enhances salt tolerance in tobacco by coordinating stress responsive transcription and lignin deposition.
Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress limiting plant growth and crop productivity. MYB transcription factors play central roles in plant stress responses. Here, we investigated NtMYB78 using overexpression (OE) and knockout (KO) lines. Expression analysis revealed that NtMYB78 is strongly induced by salt stress....
