Transcription factors (TFs) are DNA-binding proteins that interact with other transcriptional regulators, including chromatin remodeling/modifying proteins, to recruit or block access of RNA polymerases to the DNA template. Plant genomes devote approximately 7% of their coding sequence to TFs, which
