“…In general, these processes are associated with expression of genes induced by ABA. A number of bZIP proteins such as OsbZIP52/RISBZ5 (Liu et al, 2012), OsAREB1/OsABF2 (Hossain et al, 2010;Jin et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2001Yang et al, , 2011, OsABI5/OREB1 (Zou et al, 2007(Zou et al, , 2008Hong et al, 2011), and OSBZ8 (Nakagawa et al, 1996;Mukherjee et al, 2006) have been shown to bind to ABA-responsive elements (ABRE) and transcriptionally regulate ABA-induced ABREcontaining genes. The OsbZIP52 gene encodes a transcriptional activator that is strongly induced by low temperature stress (4°C).…”
