Transcriptional networks governing plant metabolism
Efficiently obtaining and utilizing energy and elements is critical for an organism to maximize its fitness.Optimizing these processes requires precise regulation and coordination of an organism’s metabolic net-works in response to diverse environmental conditions and developmental stages. Metabolic regulationis often considered to largely occur by allosteric feedback where the metabolites directly influence theenzymes function. Recent work is showing that there is also an extensive role for transcriptional controlof the enzyme encoding genes to construct the metabolic network in response to developmental andenvironmental stimuli. Within this review, we go through the extensive evidence of how transcriptioncan coordinate the necessary metabolic shifts required to coordinate a plants metabolism with its devel-opment and environment. Additionally, we discuss evidence that the metabolites not only feed-backregulate the enzymes but also the upstream transcriptional processes, possibly to stabilize the system.
