The hormone ethylene is crucial in the regulation of ripening in climacteric fruit, such as
bananas. The transcriptional regulation of ethylene biosynthesis throughout banana fruit …

After germination, exposure to light promotes the opening and expansion of the cotyledons
and the development of the photosynthetic apparatus in a process called de‐etiolation. This …

Secondary metabolite (SM) production provides biotic and abiotic stress resistance and
enables plants to adapt to the environment. Biosynthesis of these metabolites involves a …

Life has always found a way to preserve itself. One strategy that has been developed for this
purpose is sexual reproduction. In land plants, the gynoecium is considered to be at the top …

Biosynthesis of medicinally valuable terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) in Catharanthus
roseus is regulated by transcriptional activators such as the basic helix–loop–helix factor …

Physical interactions between members of the MYB and bHLH transcription factor (TF)
families regulate many important biological processes in plants. Not all reported MYB–bHLH …

Background Correct flower formation requires highly specific temporal and spatial regulation
of gene expression. In Arabidopsis thaliana the majority of the master regulators that …

Floral organ identities in plants are specified by the combinatorial action of homeotic master
regulatory transcription factors. However, how these factors achieve their regulatory …

Background Drought stress is one of the major factors limiting wheat production globally.
Improving drought tolerance is important for agriculture sustainability. Although various …

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) play a central role in cellular decision-making.
Understanding their structure and how it impacts their dynamics constitutes thus a …
