Plant Gene Expression Analysis

Plant Gene Expression Analysis is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 22k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the molecular mechanisms and regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis in plants, focusing on the roles of transcription factors such as MYB and WRKY in controlling the phenylpropanoid pathway and the production of anthocyanins. It delves into the intricate network of genes and signaling pathways involved in plant pigment biosynthesis, as well as the impact of flavonoids on plant development, stress responses, and interactions with the environment.
