“…Dof genes are reported to be involved in a wide range of plant biological processes, such as seed germination (Papi et al, 2000;Gualberti et al, 2002;Boccaccini et al, 2014), accumulation of storage proteins (Vicente-Carbajosa et al, 1997;Yamamoto et al, 2006;Dong et al, 2007) and lipids (Wang et al, 2007) in developing seeds, regulation of genes involved in plant nitrogen assimilation Rueda-L opez et al, 2008;Kurai et al, 2011;Santos et al, 2012), and carbon fixation (Yanagisawa, 2000;Tanaka et al, 2009;Kurai et al, 2011). Dof TFs also play important roles in the regulation of secondary metabolic processes, such as biosynthesis of glucosinolates and flavonoids (Skirycz et al, 2006(Skirycz et al, , 2007, and cell cycle regulation (Skirycz et al, 2008).…”
