INDETERMINATE DOMAIN Transcription Factors in Crops: Plant Architecture, Disease Resistance, Stress Response, Flowering, and More.

() genes encode plant-specific transcription factors containing a conserved IDD domain with four zinc finger motifs. Previous studies on () have demonstrated that these genes play roles in diverse physiological and developmental processes, including plant architecture, seed and root development, flowering, stress responses, and hormone signaling. Recent studies have revealed important functions of from rice and maize, especially in regulating leaf differentiation, which is related to the evolution of C leaves from C leaves. Moreover, in crops are involved in the regulation of agriculturally important traits, including disease and stress resistance, seed development, and flowering. Thus, are valuable targets for breeding manipulation. This review explores the role of in plant development, environmental responses, and evolution, which provides idea for agricultural application.
