“…Various types of genes and plant hormones are involved in the development of plant epidermal structures (Shibata and Sugimoto, 2019;Wang et al, 2019c;Nunes et al, 2020). Many transcription factors play important roles in plant epidermal cell development, such as MYB transcription factors (Wang et al, 2019b;Zhang et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2021) (Wang et al, 2019c;Yan et al, 2021), WD40 proteins (Yuan et al, 2019b), HD-ZIP transcription factors (Zhang et al, 2021), and zinc finger proteins (Chang et al, 2018;Yan et al, 2021). C2H2 zinc finger proteins, which play important roles in a variety of biological processes, comprise the largest transcription family in plants and are widely distributed in many species (Sakamoto et al, 2004;Han et al, 2020b;Zhang et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2021).…”
