Transcription factors (TF) are identified by their affinity for specific motifs in promoters, upstream regulatory elements, or enhancer regions of target genes ( Riechmann et al., 2000 ). These factors bind specifically to their DNA-binding sites
transcription factors were identified in grape based on a genome-wide analysis, and the functions of a small number of them were demonstrated, mainly regarding stress response and morphological development ( Wang et al., 2013 ). Le Hénanff et al. (2013) found
The Dof transcription factors contain a DNA binding single zinc finger, and the Dof proteins are one of the plant-specific transcription factor families with a single zinc finger conserved domain ( Dof domain) rich in a unique cysteine
. annuum is reportedly influenced by an incompletely dominant gene A and a second modifying gene MoA ( Deshpande, 1933 ; Peterson, 1959 ). The A locus encodes a Myb transcription factor ( Myb A ) that is absent in genotypes that do not
., 2005 ; Winkel-Shirley, 2001 ). Analysis of Zea mays anthocyanin mutants revealed two families of regulatory factors, one encoding an MYC-like transcription factor with a basic helix–loop–helix motif (R family) and the other encoding an R2R3 MYB
GSL production such as AtDof1.1 (DNA-binding-with-one finger; Skirycz et al., 2006 ) and subgroup 12 R2-R3 MYB transcription factors ( Gigolashvili et al., 2009 ), or both positively and negatively regulate GSL production such as the nuclear
studies of stress tolerance in plants, it is found that the transcription factor activates or inhibits the expression of related genes through interactions with other related proteins or itself and then plays an important role in regulating the
Transcription factors are proteins that bind to a specific nucleotide sequence and play a central role in gene regulation by activating or repressing the transcription of target genes. TFs can also activate a wide array of defense mechanisms in
-responsive element/C-repeat) cis -element in their promoters ( Stockinger et al., 1997 ). A family of transcription factors, DREB1s binds to this element and activates transcription of the downstream cold genes ( Chinnusamy et al., 2003 ). DREB1b is a cold
value; for example, they can be processed into protein drinks ( Sharma et al., 2010 ) and biodiesel fuel ( Wang et al., 2017 ). They are also used in traditional Chinese medicine. NAC proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that contain an N
