A Novel Heat Shock Transcription Factor (<i>ZmHsf08</i>) Negatively Regulates Salt and Drought Stress Responses in Maize

Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, the function of these transcription factors in abiotic stress responses in maize (<i>Zea mays</i>) remains largely unknown. In this study, we characterized a novel HS...
