• Plant abiotic stress response and nutrient use efficiency (2020, background): “, NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC, can mediate droughtregulated gene expression, possibly by coordinating with DREB2A or with other unidentified components (Nelson et al., 2007; Sato et al., 2014; Sato et al., 2019; Su et al., 2018).”
• Guard Cell Signal Transduction Network: Advances in Understanding Abscisic Acid, CO2, and Ca2+ Signaling (2010, background): “It was recently reported that the Arabidopsis NFYA5 (NUCLEAR FACTOR Y, SUBUNIT A5) and the maize NF-YB2 function as positive regulators of drought-stress responses (104, 130), suggesting a possible role of the CCAAT box element and its binding partner NF-Y in ABA/abiotic stress signaling.”
• Engineering Salinity and Water-Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants (2011, background): “InArabidopsis,AtNF-YB1, a nuclear factor Y (NF-Y complex), was found to mediate transcriptional control through CCAAT DNA elements and confer tolerance to abiotic stress when constitutively expressed in Arabidopsis (Nelson et al., 2007).”
