“…GRF genes encode transcription factors that bind to sequence-specific DNA, which interacts with the transcriptional cofactor GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR (GIF) to form functional transcriptional complexes that regulate cell proliferation to control leaf size ( Kim et al, 2003 , 2022 ; Kim and Kende, 2004 ; Horiguchi et al, 2005 ; Lee et al, 2009 ; Wang et al, 2011 ; Debernardi et al, 2014 ; Lee and Kim, 2014 ; Lu et al, 2020 ). GRF is negatively regulated by microRNA (miR396), and its expression is suppressed by miR396 after transcription ( Wang et al, 2011 ; Baucher et al, 2013 ; Debernardi et al, 2014 ; Liu et al, 2014 , 2021 ; Li et al, 2019 ; Szczygiel-Sommer and Gaj, 2019 ; Liebsch and Palatnik, 2020 ; Beltramino et al, 2021 ; Lu et al, 2021 ; Pegler et al, 2021 ; Kim et al, 2022 ). GRF/GIF has a universal growth-promoting effect on inflorescences and flower organs of several species.…”
