TL;DR: The role of MYC transcription factors and jasmonic acid in photomorphogenic growth regulators is analyzed and it is found that multiple myc mutants share light-associated phenotypes with mutants of the phytochrome B photoreceptor, such as delayed seed germination in the dark and long hypocotyl growth.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that FaDOF2 plays a subsidiary regulatory role with FaEOBII in the expression of genes encoding enzymes that control eugenol production, and new insights are provided into the regulation of the volatile phenylpropanoid pathway in ripe strawberry receptacles.

TL;DR: There is a substantial overlap in the genes regulated by cytokinin and those differentially expressed in response to pathogen infection, suggesting that cytokinIn plays an integral role in the transcriptional response to pathogens in rice, including the induction of a large number of WRKY transcription factors.

TL;DR: A novel methodology for genome-wide identification of miRNA targets that exploits RLM-RACE for non-sequence-specific enrichment of cleaved transcripts, T7 RNA polymerase-mediated amplification of target products, and microarray hybridization is described.

TL;DR: This method identified more than 100 putative novel miRNA or siRNA target mRNAs that had not been previously predicted by computational or microarray-based methods, and expanded the regulatory role of endogenous smRNAs to a wide range of cellular processes, with prevalence in the regulation of cellular solute homeostasis.
