Gene expression analysis in wild-type and OsHOX24 Arabidopsis overexpression line

Homeobox transcription factors are known to regulate plant growth and development. Recently, they have also been implicated in abiotic stress responses. To analyze the role of HD-ZIP I subfamily member, OsHOX24, we constitutively overexpressed it in Arabidopsis. The physiological analyses revealed that overexpression of OsHOX24 gene severely reduced abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic plants as compared to wild-type.
