Systematic analysis of the Capsicum ERF transcription factor family: Identification of regulatory factors involved in the regulation of species-specific metabolites

ERF transcription factors (TFs) belong to the Apetala2/Ethylene responsive Factor (AP2/ERF) TF family and play a vital role in plant growth and development processes. Capsorubin and capsaicinoids have relatively high economic and nutritional value, and they are specifically found in Capsicum.
