Abstract Plant AT-rich sequence and zinc-binding protein (PLATZ) is a plant transcription factor that has been studied in
corn. PLATZ can non-specifically bind to sequences rich in A/T bases to induce transcriptional repression. It is
involved in the regulation of dehydration tolerance in seeds. In this study, we performed bioinformatics analysis
to identify and characterize wheat PLATZ(TaPLATZ)genes. We identified 49 wheat PLATZ genes by searching the
wheat genome by using known PLATZ gene sequences from rice, Arabidopsis, and maize. Phylogenetic analysis
on PLATZ gene sequences from different species was performed. We found that PLATZs could be divided into
three groups.… More >
