TaZFP 23, a new Cys2/His2-type zinc-finger protein, is a regulator of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important food crop and one of the most important grains in the world. With the global climate change, wheat production is increasingly affected by abiotic stress, among which drought, salinity, and other factors have become the main abiotic stress factors restricting the efficient production of wheat. The C2H2-type zinc finger proteins are a common class of transcription factors in plants that play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and development as well as responses to stresses. In this study, the wheat C2H2-type zinc finger protein transcription factor TaZFP23 was cloned. Its full-length coding sequence was 720 bp encoding 239 amino acids. TaZFP23 is a typical C2H2-type zinc finger protein. It contains two C2H2 zinc finger domains
