Abstract:Tea plants (
Camellia sinensis
L.) are prone to spring frosts, leading to substantial economic damage. WRKY transcription factors are key in plant abiotic stress responses, yet the role of
CsWRKY29
in freezing tolerance is unclear. In this study, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and transient green fluorescent protein assay revealed that
CsWRKY29
localizes to the nucleus and its expression is induced by cold and abscisic acid (ABA).
