Abstract

Plant transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in diverse biological processes, including immunity. A recent study by Zhang et al. reported that the rice TF APIP5 regulates immunity through its roles on transcription and mRNA turnover, advancing our conceptual understanding that plant TF may not only function as a TF.

Keywords: APIP5; DNA binding; immunity; mRNA turnover; transcription factor.
