Overview of the Arabidopsis flower and the proposed CRC–MYB-dependent DNA-looping mechanism regulating MAB4

Caption

Researchers identified how CRC and MYB proteins regulate genes involved in nectary development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Their findings reveal a potential role for long-range DNA interactions in regulating MAB4 expression, auxin distribution, and the growth of nectar-producing organs.
