The C2H2-Type Zinc Finger Protein OsZFP179 Positively Regulates Cadmium Tolerance by Transcriptionally Activating OsGSTU19 in Rice

Cadmium (Cd) contamination threatens rice quality and food safety. Although C2H2-type zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) regulate abiotic stress responses, their roles in rice Cd detoxification are largely unknown. Here, we show that OsZFP179 positively regulates Cd tolerance. OsZFP179 is Cd-inducible and nuclear-localized....
