The bHLH transcription factor OsPRI1 activates the Setaria viridis PEPC1 promoter in rice by Carvalho, P, Gomes, C, Gonçalves, I, Lourenço, TF, Vlad, D, Langdale, JA, Saibo, NJM

“…To engineer C₄ into a C₃ plant, it is essential to understand how C₄ genes, such as <i>phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC1)</i>, are regulated to be expressed at high levels and in a cell-specific manner.</li> <li>Yeast one-hybrid screening was used to show that OsPRI1, a rice bHLH transcription factor involved in iron homeostasis, binds to the <i>Setaria viridis PEPC1</i> promoter. …”
