Function
Auxin response factors (ARFs) are transcriptional factors that bind specifically to the DNA sequence 5'-TGTCTC-3' found in the auxin-responsive promoter elements (AuxREs) (By similarity). Could act as transcriptional activator or repressor (PubMed:26959229, PubMed:26716451, PubMed:27645097, PubMed:28167023). Involved in the control of fruit ripening process (PubMed:26959229, PubMed:26716451, PubMed:28167023). Regulates expression of a number of ripening regulators, transcription factors, and ethylene biosynthesis and signaling components (PubMed:26959229, PubMed:26716451). May act as a transcriptional repressor of auxin-responsive genes (PubMed:26716451). Regulates vegetative growth, lateral root formation and flower organ senescence, possibly partially by regulating gene expression of auxin and ethylene response factor (ERF) genes (PubMed:28167023). Plays a negative role in axillary shoot meristem formation (PubMed:27645097).
