TL;DR: Target mimicry can be generalized beyond the control of Pi homeostasis, as demonstrated using artificial target mimics and coined to define this mechanism of inhibition of miRNA activity.

TL;DR: The results show that MYC3 and MYC4 are activators of JA-regulated programs that act additively with MYC2 to regulate specifically different subsets of the JA-dependent transcriptional response.

TL;DR: By characterizing the target sequence specificity of 63 plant TFs representing 25 families, using protein-binding microarrays, the data support the correlation between cis-regulatory elements in vivo and the sequence determined in vitro and provides a framework to explore regulatory networks in plants.

TL;DR: The identification of genome-wide PIF5-binding sites during shade avoidance revealed that this bHLH transcription factor regulates the expression of a subset of previously identified SAS genes, and this study suggests that PIF4 and Pif5 regulate elongation growth by controlling directly the expression for auxin biosynthesis and auxin signaling components.

TL;DR: DNA-binding and pull-down assays showed that SPX1 is a competitive inhibitor of PHR1 binding to its recognition sequence, and that its efficiency is highly dependent on the presence of Pi or phosphite, a nonmetabolizable Pi analog that can repress PSRs.
