The Transcription Factor TaDREB2B Cooperates With ScGTE10 to Confer Drought Tolerance via Both ABA‐Dependent and ABA‐Independent Pathways in Sugarcane

Summary statement The transcription factor TaDREB2B enhances sugarcane drought tolerance through two complementary pathways: it represses aquaporin genes in an ABA‐independent manner to reduce water loss and interacts with ScGTE10 to synergistically activate the ABA‐dependent ScSnRK2.8 signalling cascade.
