The Molecular Mechanisms of Growth-regulating Factors (GRFs) in Plant Growth, Development and Stress Response
Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) are the plant specific transcription factors family.GRFs signal pathway mediates many important life processes,such as seed development,root growth,and flower development.In addition,upstream gene of GRFs had been discovered,and gradually downstream target genes of GRFs are being unraveled.This review focuses on the gene feature,biological function,and regulatory mechanism of GRFs.Meanwhile,the prospects and development trend of GRFs were also discussed.This review will provide valuable information for the related studies.
