Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are systems of molecular regulators — transcription factors, signaling molecules, and their target genes — that collectively control when, where, and how much each gene is expressed within a cell. In plant biology, GRNs govern fundamental processes such as development, flowering time, stress responses, and yield-related traits. Deciphering these networks enables researchers to understand how plants integrate environmental signals with developmental programs, opening pathways for precision crop improvement.
