Elucidating Biological Functions of 9-<i>cis</i>-Epoxycarotenoid Dioxygenase Genes Involved in Seed Dormancy in <i>Paeonia lactiflora</i>
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a major phytohormone affecting seed dormancy and germination in plants. ABA is synthesized mainly through the C40 carotenoid pathway. In the ABA biosynthesis pathway, 9-<i>cis</i>-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) is a key rate-limiting enzyme that regulates the a...
