TL;DR: Yeast 1-hybrid analysis is shown to be a valuable tool that can distinguish clades of binding proteins and be used to test and quantify protein binding to predicted promoter motifs.

TL;DR: High-resolution microarray analysis of Pseudomonas syringae-inoculated Arabidopsis leaves reveals transcriptional dynamics underpinning basal defense and effector modulation leading to disease development, and establishes causal links between the activities of pathogen effectors and suppression of MTI.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Arabidopsis thaliana plants with increased HSFA1b expression showed increased water productivity and harvest index under water-replete and water-limiting conditions, and it is suggested that HSFA 1b directly regulates 55 HSE1b-containing genes, which control the remaining 454 genes, collectively accounting for the stress defence and developmental phenotypes of HS FA1bOx.

TL;DR: It is suggested that AGL22 uniquely regulates a transcriptional network during drought stress, linking changes in primary metabolism and the initiation of stress responses, and influences steady state photosynthetic rates and lifetime water use.

TL;DR: In this paper, a regulatory network of 47 predominantly photoreceptor-regulated transcription (co-)factor genes was inferred from expanded Arabidopsis leaves, and the most connected gene in this network was B-BOX DOMAIN CONTAINING PROTEIN32 (BBX32).
