This review aims to elucidate the determinants of the plant splicing code and how they affect alternative splicing (AS) processes.
Examining transcriptome-wide AS patterns using advanced technological approaches.
Profiling in vivo interactions between splicing regulatory proteins and target pre-mRNAs.
Combining functional studies of individual AS events.
Reviewing current knowledge of AS regulation mechanisms in plants.
Identified critical components of the plant splicing code, including cis-regulatory elements and trans-acting factors.
Demonstrated the role of splicing regulatory proteins in affecting splice site selection.
Highlighted the ability to achieve high precision and specificity in alternative splicing despite low complexity of binding motifs.

Burgardt et al. (2026) studied this question.
