| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Drought is a significant abiotic stressor that limits maize (Zea mays L.) growth and development. Thus, enhancing drought tolerance is critical for promoting maize production. Our findings demonstrated that ZmMYB39 is an MYB transcription factor with transcriptional activation activity. Drought stress experiments involving ZmMYB39 overexpression and knockout lines indicated that ZmMYB39 positively regulated drought stress tolerance in maize. DAP-Seq, EMSA, dual-LUC, and RT-qPCR provided initial insights into the molecular regulatory mechanisms by which ZmMYB39 enhances drought tolerance in maize. ZmMYB39 directly promoted the expression of ZmP5CS1, ZmPOX1, ZmSOD2, ZmRD22, ZmNAC49, and ZmDREB2A, which are involved in stress resistance. ZmMYB39 enhanced drought tolerance by interacting with and promoting the expression of ZmFNR1, ZmHSP20, and ZmDOF6. Our study offers a theoretical basis for understanding the molecular regulatory networks involved in maize drought stress response. Furthermore, ZmMYB39 serves as a valuable genetic resource for breeding drought-resistant maize |
