Distinct tissue-specific transcriptional regulation revealed by gene regulatory networks in maize

Abstract Background Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that can bind to DNA sequences and regulate gene expression. Many TFs are master regulators in cells that contribute to tissue-specific and cell-type-specific gene expression patterns in eukaryotes. Maize has been a model organism for over...
