| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plants survive daily and seasonal environmental changes by regulating the expression of various genes exquisitely and dynamically. Transcription factors are proteins that control such expression. Elucidation of the gene expression control mechanism by transcription factors, which is still largely unknown, is expected to contribute greatly to the progress of basic research and the development of useful plants. In this study, we mainly focused on the molecular function of plant-specific transcriptional repressors and found a dynamic regulation mechanism by multiple factors. In addition to the initially assumed mechanism, new factors were also found to be involved in transcriptional repression mechanisms.
