Unearthing the secrets of ERFVIIs: new insights into hypoxia signaling

Trends Plant Sci. 2024 Mar;29(3):275-277. doi: 10.1016/j.tplants.2023.10.015. Epub 2023 Nov 9.

Abstract

Group VII ethylene-responsive factor (ERFVII) transcription factors are crucial for the adaption of plants to conditions that limit oxygen availability. A recent study by Zubrycka et al. reveals new aspects of ERFVII stabilization through the PLANT CYSTEINE OXIDASE (PCO)-N degron pathway and non-autonomous regulation in response to different endogenous and exogenous cues.
