摘要

Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) are the genetic DNA fragments bound by transcription factors (TFs). CREs function as molecular switches that precisely modulate the dosage and spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression. The systematic identification of CREs not only facilitates the annotation of the functional non-coding genome but also provides essential insights into the architecture of gene regulatory networks and sheds light on an accurate selection of the target sites for genetic engineering of crops. In this review, we summarize the current high-throughput methodologies used for identifying CREs, illustrate the associations between CREs and agronomic traits in horticultural crops, and discuss how CREs can be exploited to facilitate crop breeding.
