The role of bZIP transcription factors in green plant evolution: adaptive features emerging from four founder genes.

<h4>Background</h4>Transcription factors of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family control important processes in all eukaryotes. In plants, bZIPs are regulators of many central developmental and physiological processes including photomorphogenesis, leaf and seed formation, energy homeos...
