OsGF14f, OsbZIP23 and OsFLZ20 form a hierarchical positive regulatory module to enhance drought tolerance in rice.
Drought stress severely restricts global rice production, making the improvement of drought tolerance a central goal in rice breeding. Here, we identify the rice FCS-like zinc finger protein 20 (OsFLZ20) as a previously unrecognized client of the 14-3-3 protein OsGF14f, a recently characterized and promising target for...
