Transcription factors NF-YA2 and NF-YA10 regulate leaf growth via auxin signaling in Arabidopsis

Abstract In plants, leaf is crucial for photosynthesis and respiration. Leaf area and quantity are important for leaf vegetables to increase biomass. The process of leaf development involves coordinated regulation among small RNAs, transcription factors and hormones. Here, we found leaf size were re...
