GhHDZ-87, a cotton HD-Zip transcription factor, involved in regulating salt stress tolerance in G. hirsutum.

Salt stress severely constrains cotton seedling establishment, yield, and fiber quality. Although HD‑Zip transcription factors are known to play essential roles in abiotic stress adaptation in various plant species, their functions in cotton remain largely unexplored. In this study, we performed a comprehensive genome‑...
