The highly conserved homeodomain binds to specific DNA sequences to regulate gene expression.
Critical for vascular development and apical meristem maintenance. hormon.zip
HD-Zip proteins are unique to the plant kingdom and are characterized by a linked to a leucine zipper (LZ) motif. The highly conserved homeodomain binds to specific DNA
Primarily involved in epidermal cell differentiation and lipid metabolism. hormon.zip
These proteins originated in green algae and expanded through multiple duplication events to help plants adapt to terrestrial life. Links to Hormone Networks
Regulates responses to abiotic stress (drought, cold) and ABA signaling. Involved in light response and auxin-mediated development. HD-Zip III
These proteins act as specific transcription factors that coordinate plant growth, development, and environmental adaptation by linking directly to hormone signaling pathways.
