Abstract excerpt
To control the expression of their target genes, plant transcription factors bind to specific DNA sequences (called cis-elements) adjacent to the genes they regulate, thereby promoting or blocking the recruitment of RNA polymerase. Functional analysis of cis-elements is therefore essential for understanding transcriptional regulation, which underlies developmental programs and environmental responses. Using...
