uORF-regulated transcription factor MsSPL12 mediates alfalfa drought tolerance via activating ABA biosynthesis
Drought stress severely restricts the growth and yield of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), and ABA plays a vital role in plant drought tolerance. Here, we report that a transcription factor MsSPL12, induced by both drought and ABA treatment, mediates drought tolerance in alfalfa. Overexpression of MsSPL12 enhanced droug...
