Transcriptional regulators play key roles in plant growth, development and environmental responses; however, understanding how their regulatory activity is encoded at the protein level has been hindered by a lack of multiplexed large-scale methods to characterize protein libraries in planta. Here we present enrichment of nuclear trans -elements reporter assay in plants with sequencing (ENTRAP-seq), a high-throughput method that introduces protein-coding libraries into plant cells to drive a nuclear magnetic sorting-based reporter, enabling multiplexed measurement of regulatory activity from thousands of protein variants. Using ENTRAP-seq and machine learning, we screen 1,495 plant viruses and identify hundreds of putative transcriptional regulatory domains found in structural proteins and enzymes not associated with gene regulation. In addition, we combine ENTRAP-seq with machine-guided design to engineer the activity of a plant transcription factor in a semirational fashion. Our findings demonstrate how scalable protein function assays deployed in planta will enable the characterization of natural and synthetic coding diversity in plants.
