DAG1

Genome-wide RNA-seq analysis indicates that the DAG1 transcription factor promotes hypocotyl elongation acting on ABA, ethylene and auxin signaling

Hypocotyl elongation is influenced by light and hormones, but the molecular mechanisms underlying
this process are not yet fully elucidated. We had previously suggested that the Arabidopsis DOF
transcription factor DAG1 may be a negative component of the mechanism of light-mediated inhibition
of hypocotyl elongation, as light-grown dag1 knock-out mutant seedlings show significant shorter
hypocotyls than the wild type. By using high-throughput RNA-seq, we compared the transcriptome
