Abstract:
This study characterises the molecular properties and the function of two Arahidopsis
AP2/ERF transcription factors, Rap2.4 and Rap2.4b. The two genes belong to the DREB subgroup, members of which have been demonstrated to function in plant responses to abiotic stresses. Identifying the transcription factors involved in mediating responses to abiotic stress is a topic of great interest in plant biology, as the genes controlling stress signalling cascades can offer significant potential for crop improvement.
