mterf9 | Arabidopsis thaliana | Chloroplast | mTERF9 (AT5G55580) | Reduced sensitivity to ABA, salt, and osmotic stress; altered sugar responses. | [41] | |
mterf10 | Arabidopsis thaliana | Chloroplast | mTERF10 (AT2G34620) | Hypersensitive to salt stress; mTERF10 overexpression leads to enhanced salt and ABA tolerance. | [43] | |
mterf11 | Arabidopsis thaliana | Chloroplast | mTERF11 (AT3G18870) | Hypersensitive to ABA and salt stress. mTERF11 overexpression leads to enhanced salt tolerance and increased ABA sensitivity. | [43] | |
