TL;DR: The results indicate that CRYs signal by modulating PIF activity genome wide and that these factors integrate binding of different plant photoreceptors to facilitate growth changes under different light conditions.

TL;DR: A triple mutant of MYC2, MYC3, and MYC4 transcription factors is devoid of glucosinolates and more sensitive to attack by a generalist insect, underlines the importance of GS in shaping plant interactions with adapted and nonadapted herbivores.

TL;DR: In this article, a yeast protein interaction screen with tobacco TGA2.2 as bait and an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA prey library was performed and led to the identification of a member of the glutaredoxin family (GRX480, encoded by At1g28480).

TL;DR: In this article, the same transcription factors are essential for the activation of jasmonic acid and ethylene (ET)-dependent defense mechanisms that counteract necrotrophic pathogens: the tga256 triple mutant is impaired in JA/ET-induced PDF1.2 and b-CHI expression, which correlates with a higher susceptibility against the necrotroph Botrytis cinerea.

TL;DR: This work investigated the signalling pathway of the hormone jasmonic acid (JA), which controls a plethora of critically important processes in plants and is orchestrated by the transcription factor MYC2 and its closest relatives in Arabidopsis thaliana, and generated an integrated framework of the response to JA.
