Stomatal closure is a common adaptation response of plants to the onset of drought condition and its regulation is controlled by transcription factors. MYB60, a transcription factor involved in the regulation of light-induced stomatal opening, has been characterized in arabidopsis and grapevine. ...

Isolation and molecular characterization of MYB60 in Solanum lycopersicum
Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a quantitative measurement of biomass produced per volume of water transpired by a plant. WUE is an important physiological trait for drought response to mitigate the water deficiency. In this work, a cisgenic construction from Citrus sinensis was developed and its f...

Stomata regulation by tissue-specific expression of the Citrus sinensis MYB61 transcription factor improves water-use efficiency in Arabidopsis
Citrus are a globally important fruit crop. Abiotic stressors such as drought and salinity adversely affect physiological citrus performance and survival. With the aim of improving drought tolerance in citrus plants, we constructed transgenic lines of Citrus lemon overexpressing the Arabidopsis t...
