ABSTRACT A subfamily of four Phytochrome (phy)-Interacting bHLH transcription Factors
(PIFs) collectively promote skotomorphogenic development in dark-grown seedlings. This …

A gene regulatory network (GRN) is a collection of regulatory interactions between
transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes. GRNs control different biological processes …

Gene regulation is a dynamic process in which transcription factors (TFs) play an important
role in controlling spatiotemporal gene expression. To enhance our global understanding of …

Molecular breeding for complex traits in crop plants requires understanding and
manipulation of many factors influencing plant growth, development and responses to an …

Background Pre-exposing plants to diverse abiotic stresses may alter their physiological and
