Transcription factors are proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences and controlling how genetic information is transcribed into messenger RNA. In plant science, they play a critical role in coordinating developmental processes such as flowering, seed formation, stress responses, and organ differentiation. Understanding transcription factor networks allows researchers to uncover the molecular switches that govern how plants grow, adapt, and respond to environmental conditions.
