“…Class B GATAs (B-GATAs) are further subdivided into two families based on the presence of a conserved LLM (Leu-Leu-Met) domain or HAN (HANABA TARANU) domain (Behringer and Schwechheimer, 2015). In Arabidopsis, the expression of two homologous LLM B-GATAs, GNC (GATA-nitrate-induciblecarbon metabolism-involved) and GNL (GNC-like/ cytokinin-responsive GATA factor1), is induced by light known to regulate chlorophyll biosynthesis, chloroplast development, nitrate metabolism, seed germination, flowering time, hypocotyl elongation, and stomata development (Richter et al, 2010(Richter et al, , 2013a(Richter et al, , 2013bHudson et al, 2013;Klermund et al, 2016;Ranftl et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2017;Bastakis et al, 2018). In addition to GATA TFs, a small group of bHLH TFs, the Phytochrome Interacting Factors (PIFs), play crucial roles in light-responsive gene expression and downstream biological processes through interacting with phytochromes in plants (Leivar and Monte, 2014).…”
