Anthocyanins play a variety of adaptive roles in both vegetative tissues and reproductive
organs of plants. The broad functionality of these compounds requires sophisticated …

The phenylpropanoid pathway gives rise to lignin, flavonoids, and other metabolites and is
regulated by MYB transcription factors. Many R2R3-MYB transcriptional activators are …

Regulation of gene expression at the level of transcription controls many crucial biological
processes. Transcription factors (TFs) play a great role in controlling cellular processes and …

Plants require sophisticated regulatory mechanisms to ensure the degree of anthocyanin
pigmentation is appropriate to myriad developmental and environmental signals. Central to …

NAC transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in
plants, and members of the NAC gene family have been suggested to play important roles in …

Glucosinolates are secondary defense metabolites produced by plants of the order
Brassicales, which includes the model species Arabidopsis and many crop species. In the …

Anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin (PA) accumulation is regulated by both myeloblastosis
(MYB) activators and repressors, but little information is available on hierarchical …

The expansion of gene families encoding regulatory proteins is typically associated with the
increase in complexity characteristic of multi‐cellular organisms. The MYB and basic helix …

MYB-type transcription factors play a diverse role in plant development and response to
abiotic stress. This study isolated a rice R2R3-type MYB gene, OsMYB2, and functionally …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a pivotal role in a variety of developmental
processes and adaptive stress responses to environmental stimuli in plants. Cellular …
