Abstract excerpt
Nine-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) catalyzes the key step of abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis. There are five genes encoding NCED in Arabidopsis, which differentially regulate ABA biosynthesis in a spatiotemporal manner in response to endogenous and environmental stimuli. Previous studies have shown that NCED9 is expressed in testa and embryos during seed development. In the present study, we have...
