•DOF transcription factors have roles in plant-specific processes.•They can activate or repress target genes.•They share a conserved DNA-binding domain and a series of more class-specific motifs.•Their action is subject to post-transcriptional events. The DOF (DNA-binding One Zinc Finger) family of...
