A hypothetical model proposing a possible role for the 1R-MYB TF in co-regulating drought tolerance in chickpea. The Y2H analysis involving the candidate TF, 1R-MYB suggests GSGT2, CIPK25, and ABR17-like proteins as possible co-regulators for drought tolerance in chickpea root. These proteins have been known to be involved in various signal transduction and stress responses to drought from previous reports and has been depicted in the figure. The color intensity of the arrows indicate the strength of interactions observed through biochemical and qRT-PCR analyses in the present study.
