Researchers from Southwest University in Chongqing, People's Republic of China, have discovered new insights into the G3BP family of proteins in plants. In a study published in the journal Plants, the team identified G3BP family genes from six species of the U's triangle, including Brassica rapa,
Genetic research
Researchers have made significant progress in understanding the role of transcription factors (TFs) in plants. According to a new study, TFs are proteins that bind DNA to control where and when genes are expressed. In plants, dozens of TF families interact with distinct sets of binding sites (TFBSs) that reflect
