Transcriptional control of flavonoid biosynthesis by MYB–bHLH–WDR complexes

•Flavonoid gene expression is tightly regulated by environmental and developmental signals. •Specific R2R3-MYB and bHLH transcription factors interact with WDR proteins to form MBW complexes. •MBW complexes contribute to the tight regulation of late biosynthetic gene expression. •MBW networks provide a powerful model system for the regulation of gene expression. Flavonoids are widely known for the colors they confer to plant tissues, their...
