Homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that
contain a homeodomain (HD) and a leucine zipper (LZ) domain. The highly conserved HD …

Plant trichomes, protrusions formed from specialized aboveground epidermal cells, provide
protection against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Trichomes can be unicellular …

Biosynthesis of specialized metabolites (SM), including phenolics, terpenoids, and alkaloids,
is stimulated by many environmental factors including light. In recent years, significant …

Trichomes are epidermal outgrowths on plant shoots. Their roles in protecting plants against
herbivores and in the biosynthesis of specialized metabolites have long been recognized …

Is Cannabis a boon or bane? Cannabis sativa has long been a versatile crop for fiber
extraction (industrial hemp), traditional Chinese medicine (hemp seeds), and recreational …

The fruit surface has an enormous impact on the external appearance and postharvest shelf‐
life of fruit. Here, we report two functionally redundant genes, PpMYB25 and PpMYB26 …

Glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs) can secrete and store a variety of specific metabolites.
By increasing GST density, valuable metabolites can be enhanced in terms of productivity …

Exploring the genetic network of glandular trichomes and manipulating genes relevant to
secondary metabolite biosynthesis are of great importance and value. Artemisinin, a key …

Low light conditions severely suppress anthocyanin synthesis in fruit skins, leading to
compromised fruit quality in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) production. In this study, we …

In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and other plants, the photoreceptor UV-RESISTANCE
LOCUS 8 regulates plant UV-B photomorphogenesis by modulating the transcription of …
