Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation The CsULT1 gene contains an 80 amino acid long conserved SAND domain.
- Observation The CsULT1 transcript was more abundant in stigma.
- Observation CsULT1 expression increased from the pre anthesis stage till anthesis.
- Association The CsULT1 expression pattern corroborated the accumulation pattern of crocin.
- Observation CsULT1 was transcriptionally active and localized in the nucleus.
- Intervention effect CsULT1 expression was induced by the phytohormones auxin, methyljasmonate and salicylic acid.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of CsULT1 in Crocus calli enhanced expression of the pathway genes PSY, PDS and BCH.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of CsULT1 in Crocus calli enhanced expression of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase genes.
- Mechanism The authors show involvement of plant SAND domain proteins in regulating secondary metabolic pathways.
