Abstract excerpt
Plant-specialized metabolites are essential for plant fitness and human health, with their biosynthesis pathways tightly regulated at multiple levels. However, the translational regulation of their biosynthesis remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal a 5' untranslated region (5'UTR)-mediated translational mechanism that controls glucosinolate production in Arabidopsis. A forward genetic screen exploring the...
