Abstract:

The TFⅢA-type zinc finger protein belongs to C2H2-type zinc finger protein family with the finger structure of CX2-4CX3FX5LX2HX3-5H. Recent studies have shown that TFⅢA zinc finger protein family also play important roles in stress responses. It is being believed that TFⅢA zinc finger protein genes will become another target for engineering the biotech crops with enhanced tolerance to abiotic stress.
