“…The JAZ proteins have no transcriptional regulation function, but they expand regulatory roles in plant growth and development and coordinate the crosstalk between JA and other plant hormones by interacting with multiple TFs (Santner & Estelle, 2007; Pauwels & Goossens, 2011; Kazan & Manners, 2012). Arabidopsis MYB21/24/30/75, GL1/3, EGL3, TT8, ICE1/2, MYC2/3/4, RHD6, ABI3/5, CO, and ARF10/16 (Fernández‐Calvo et al ., 2011; Qi et al ., 2011; Song et al ., 2011; Hu et al ., 2013; Lv et al ., 2017; Ju et al ., 2019; Han et al ., 2020, 2023; Pan et al ., 2020; Mei et al ., 2023), tomato SlHD8 (Hua et al ., 2021), apple MdMYC2, MdABI4, MdBBX37, MdTRB1, MdVQ10, MdBIM1, and MdbHLH162 (An et al ., 2021a,b,c, 2022, 2023a, 2024; Zhang et al ., 2023) are JAZ interacting proteins. JAZ proteins work by reducing the transcriptional activity of target proteins or disrupting protein–protein interactions.…”
