Homeodomain associated leucine zipper proteins (HD-Zip) constitute a family of transcription factors that are characterized by the presence of a DNA- binding domain closely linked with leucine zipper motif functioning in dimer formation. This type of association is unique to plants and considered as an excellent candidate to activate developmental respons- es to altering environmental conditions. Cotton is the most important fiber plant with a lot of local and commercial uses in the world. HD-Zip proteins not only have key roles in different stages of vascular and inter-fascicular fiber differentiation of cotton but also are suggested to have an important role against abio- tic stress that is one of the key factors limiting cotton productivity. Plants have developed various strategies to manage stress conditions through a combination of metabolic, physiological and morphological adapta- tions. These adaptive changes rely largely on altera- tions in gene expression. Therefore, transcriptional regulators play a crucial role in stress tolerance. Be- ing a transcription factor HD-Zip might be a useful target for genetic engineering to generate multiple stress tolerance in susceptible plants. In the following chapter, we discussed how the HD-Zip proteins would play a useful role for cotton development both in fiber production and stress adaptation."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2013"],["dc.format.extent","6"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.4236/abb.2013.410A3003"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9360"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91935"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","2156-8502"],["dc.relation.issn","2156-8456"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC 3.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0"],["dc.title","Homeobox leucine zipper proteins and cotton improvement"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
