How conserved are plant transcription factor binding sites?

Great study by @andreabraeutigam.bsky.social lab shows a mixed pattern. Thanks for making good use of #TAPscan onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... also. C2H2 neofunctionalization fits ny thoughts.

Many transcription factor families have evolutionarily conserved binding motifs in plants (Sanja Zenker , Donat Wulf , Anja Meierhenrich , Prisca Viehöver , Sarah Becker , Marion Eisenhut , Ralf Stracke , Bernd Weisshaar , Andrea Bräutigam) doi.org/10.1093/plph... #PlantScience

I'd be grateful for some critique - the reviewers were not kind exactly.
