Genome-wide characterization of BPC transcription factors in pear and functional validation of PbBPC5 in drought tolerance regulation
This study provides a genome-wide characterization of the <i>PbBPC</i> family and reveals <i>PbBPC5</i> as a key regulator of the drought response, offering a foundation for improving pear drought tolerance through genetic approaches.
