TL;DR: Results reveal the existence of a positive feed-back loop in addition to the already established negative feedback loop, in cytokinin signalling and indicate that the negative regulation of Pi starvation responses by cytokinins involves a two-component signalling circuitry, as it is the case of other types of cytokinIn response.

TL;DR: It is shown that JA-Ile and COI1 emergence in vascular plants required co-evolution of hormone biosynthetic complexity and receptor specificity and that a single-residue substitution in MpCOI1 is responsible for the evolutionary switch in ligand specificity.

TL;DR: Two homologous jasmonate-inducible transcription factors of the basic helix-loop-helix family, TSAR1 and TSAR2, which direct triterpene saponin biosynthesis in Medicago truncatula are reported on, hinting at distinct functionalities within the regulation of the pathway.

TL;DR: The transcriptional network initiated by the type-B ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORs that mediate the cytokinin primary response was characterized, making use of chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), protein-binding microarrays, and transcriptomic approaches.

TL;DR: The development of a protein-binding microarray (PBM11) containing all possible double-stranded 11-mers provides a straightforward method for the prediction of biologically active cis-elements, and thus for identification of in vivo DNA targets of TFs.
