Regulation of gene expression depends on specific cis-regulatory sequences located in the gene promoter regions. These DNA sequences are recognized by transcription factors (TFs) in a sequence-specific manner, and their identification could help to elucidate the regulatory networks that underlie plant physiological responses to developmental programs or to environmental adaptation. Here we review recent advances in high throughput methodologies for the identification of plant TF binding sites. Several approaches offer a map of the TF binding locations in vivo and of the dynamics of the gene regulatory networks. As an alternative, high throughput in vitro methods provide comprehensive determination of the DNA sequences recognized by TFs. These advances are helping to decipher the regulatory lexicon and to elucidate transcriptional network hierarchies in plants in response to internal or external cues.
