Ethylene is very important in the process of plant development and regulates the
biosynthesis of many secondary metabolites. In these regulatory mechanisms, transcription …

Background ERF transcription factors (TFs) belong to the Apetala2/Ethylene responsive
Factor (AP2/ERF) TF family and play a vital role in plant growth and development processes …

Pepper (Capsicum) are consumed worldwide as vegetables and food additives due to their
pungent taste. Capsaicinoids are the bioactive compounds that confer the desired pungency …

Capsicum species produce fruits that synthesize and accumulate unique hot compounds
known as capsaicinoids in placental tissues. The capsaicinoid biosynthetic pathway has …

Key message This research reveals that the up-regulated expression of multiple
capsaicinoid biosynthetic genes in pericarp tissue leads to the elevation of total capsaicinoid …

Plant biosynthesis involves numerous specialized metabolites with diverse chemical natures
and biological activities. The biosynthesis of metabolites often exclusively occurs in …

Fruit ripening of apple is regulated by a plant hormone ethylene. Ethylene signaling is based
on its biosynthesis in which ACC synthase (ACS) is the rate-limited enzyme and plays the …

The placental tissue of the highly pungent chilli cultivar, Capsicum chinense Jacq.
cv.'Umorok', is used as explants for callus induction. Callus cultures were subcultured after …

Jasmonates (JAs) play an important role in plant developmental processes and regulate the
biosynthesis of various specialized metabolites, and transcription factors are crucial in …

A review of the gene expression relating to capsaicinoid biosynthesis was carried out, in
different species and varieties, within the Capsicum genus. The results were obtained using …
