NnABI4-Mediated ABA Regulation of Starch Biosynthesis in Lotus (<i>Nelumbo nucifera</i> Gaertn) by Peng Wu, Ailian Liu, Yongyan Zhang, Kai Feng, Shuping Zhao, Liangjun Li

“…In addition, subcellular localization results showed that NnABI4 encodes a nuclear protein, and NnSS1 protein was located in the chloroplast. Finally, these results indicate that ABA induced the upregulated expression of <i>NnABI4</i>, and NnABI4 promoted the expression of <i>NnSS1</i> and thus enhanced starch accumulation in lotus rhizomes. …”
