OsGF14f, OsbZIP23 and OsFLZ20 form a hierarchical positive regulatory module to enhance drought tolerance in rice.
Genetic analyses reveal that full OsFLZ20 function in drought tolerance requires a functional OsGF14f, whereas loss of OsFLZ20 compromises the drought tolerance conferred by OsGF14f, indicating mutual interdependence of these two regulators within the drought response network.
