Genetic Variation of the Serine Acetyltransferase Gene Family for Sulfur Assimilation in Maize

Improving sulfur assimilation in maize kernels is essential due to humans and animals’ inability to synthesize methionine. Serine acetyltransferase (SAT) is a critical enzyme that controls cystine biosynthesis in plants. In this study, all SAT gene members were genome-wide characterized by using a s...
