Phylogenetic analysis of F-bZIP transcription factors indicates conservation of the zinc deficiency response across land plants

Abstract Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors control important developmental and physiological processes in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the three gene F-bZIP subfamily has been associated with zinc deficiency and salt stress response. Benefiting from the present abundance of plant...
