Abstract

Abstract: The completion of the rice genome sequence paved the way for rice functional genomics research. Additionally, the functional characterization of transcription factors is currently a popular and crucial objective among researchers. Transcription factors are one of the groups of proteins that bind to either enhancer or promoter regions of genes to regulate expression. On the basis of several typical examples of transcription factor analyses, we herein summarize selected research strategies and methods and introduce their advantages and disadvantages. This review may provide some theoretical and technical guidelines for future investigations of transcription factors, which may be helpful to develop new rice varieties with ideal traits.
