SmbZIP5 Integrates Abscisic and Jasmonic Acid Signalling to Positively Regulate Tanshinone Biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Salvia miltiorrhiza produces pharmacologically bioactive diterpenoid tanshinones which are regulated by jasmonate (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) signalling, while their crosstalk in this process remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that MeJA and ABA acted synergistically to enhance tanshinone biosynthesis.
