Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Overexpressed bZIP Transcription Factors in Plants under Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: The bZIP (basic leucine zipper) transcription factors have been identified as key regulators of plant responses to drought stress, which limits plant growth and yield. Overexpression of bZIP genes has shown potential in enhancing drought tolerance in various plant species. However, the constrained types of individual studies and inconsistencies among experimental approaches has resulted in a lack of statistical significance and limited the extrapolation of bZIP transcription factor overexpression for plant improvement. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate ten measured parameters of drought tolerance in bZIP transcription factor-expressing plants as well as moderators affecting the performance of transgenic plants. The results showed that seven parameters, including survival rate as wel
