TAIR Curator Summary:
ATHB17 is a member of the HD-Zip transcription factor family. It is expressed most strongly in roots at different stages of development and induced by ABA, paraquat, drought, and NaCl treatments. Loss of function mutants are more sensitive to salt and drought stress.The protein is nuclear localized and has been shown to bind to the promoter of SIG5 and other genes.
