Silencing AT3 gene reduces the expression of pAmt, BCAT, Kas, and Acl genes involved in capsaicinoid biosynthesis in chili pepper fruits

The effects of AT3-gene silencing on the expression of genes involved in capsaicinoid biosynthesis was investigated in chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. Tampiqueño 74 fruits. Seeds were germinated and seedlings were grown in a greenhouse until they produced fruits. Capsaicinoids (capsaicin and d...
