CYTOKININ RESPONSE FACTORs Gating Environmental Signals and Hormones

CYTOKININ RESPONSE FACTORs (CRFs) encode transcription factors belonging to a small family within the APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) superfamily. Recent studies have revealed the biological functions of some arabidopsis CRFs, providing insight into the role of these plant transcription factors in integrating environmental and hormonal signals for plant adaptation.
