What is it about?
A novel bZIP family transcription factor TubZIP8 was found to be highly expressed in the endosperm throughout grain-filling stages in Triticum urartu. TubZIP28 and its homolog from Triticum aestivum TabZIP28 enhance starch synthesis in wheat.

Why is it important?
TubZIP28 and TabZIP28 are transcriptional activators of starch synthesis first identified in wheat
Perspectives
The transcriptional factor could be used to improve the starch content and yield potential in wheat.
