Dynamic Coordination: How ERF Transcription Factors Coordinate Plant Development and Adaptive Stress Responses.
Review in Biomolecules, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As sessile organisms, plants must dynamically allocate resources between growth and stress resilience. This review focuses on Ethylene Response Factor (ERF) transcription factors as central regulators of this fundamental balance. We evaluate the molecular basis of ERF function, highlighting their modular structure, dynamic post-translational regulation, and ability to form context-specific protein complexes that integrate diverse signals. While ERF family members show functional redundancy, certain ERF subgroups, such as the ERF-VIIs, exhibit clearer evidence of dual roles in coordinating both developmental programs and adaptive responses to stress. We further elucidate the mechanisms underlying ERF-mediated trade-offs, explaining how these factors direct spatial resource allocation and enable temporal switching between growth and defense states. Finally, we explore how emerging technologies, such as CRISPR-based genome editing and various synthetic biology tools, can harness ERF regulatory networks. These approaches offer promising strategies for engineering crops with precisely tuned adaptive capacity, supporting sustainable agriculture even in changing climate conditions. This synthesis highlights specific ERF subgroups as pivotal integrators and future targets for crop improvement.
