Description
Our results showed that there were 49 DEGs related to auxin and in young seedlings of CBF2-ox and CBF3-ox Arabidopsis the IAA contents were significantly decreased. Genes associated with other hormones were also affected. In general, overexpression of CBF2 and CBF3 negatively regulates multiple plant hormone signaling pathways in Arabidopsis. Our analysis provides novel and integrated insights of interaction between CBF regulators and plant hormones as well as guidance for improving stress tolerance and growth of crops via engineering CBF genes.
