Abstract: The homeodomain leucine zipper proteins(HD-Zip)are special transcription factors in higher plants. HD-Zip is characterized by a highly conserved homeodomain and a leucine-zipper domain linked closely to the C-terminal of the homeodomain. HD-Zip ATHB6 is a target of the protein phosphatase ABI1. Data suggested that ATHB6 was related to cell division and/or differentiation in developing organs. ATHB6 represented a negative regulator of the ABA signal pathway. The expression of ATHB6 was regulated in seedlings subjected to water deficit, osmotic stress, exogenous treatment with abscisic acid (ABA) or light quality. This article focuses on a brief introduction on the latest development of the structure and functions of HD-Zip ATHB6.
