“…Previous studies have indicated that SPT requires association with other transcription factors to carry out its functions in the gynoecium [ 28 , 29 ]. In addition, SPT is capable of forming dimers with transcription factors belonging to the bHLH family such as INDEHISCENT (IND), ALCATRAZ (ALC), HECATE 1, 2, 3 (HEC 1, 2, 3), and BRASSINOSTEROID-ENHANCED EXPRESSION 1 (BEE1), and with members of other families such as ARR14, SHATTERPROOF2 (SHP2), and YAB3 [ 28 , 31 , 38 , 39 ]. Therefore, we performed an in silico analysis of the promoter regions of the putative SPT target genes to identify transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs).…”
