Insight of transcriptional regulators reveals the tolerance mechanism of carpet-grass (Axonopus compressus) against drought.

Background: Carpet grass [Axonopus compressus (L.)] is an important warm-season perennial grass around the world and is known for its adaptability to varied environmental conditions. However, Carpet grass lacks enough data in public data banks, which confined our comprehension of the mechanisms of environmental adaptations, gene discovery, and development of molecular markers.

Genome-wide characterization and analysis of bZIP transcription factor gene family related to abiotic stress in cassava.

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family plays crucial roles in various aspects of biological processes. Currently, no information is available regarding the bZIP family in the important tropical crop cassava. Herein, 77 bZIP genes were identified from cassava.
