Abstract excerpt
Root color variation in radish (Raphanus sativus) is a significant agronomic trait, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying chlorophyll retention in green-fleshed roots remain to be elucidated. Here, we identify the STAY-GREEN homologs RsSGR1 and RsSGR2 as pivotal factors of green versus white root phenotypes through differential transcriptional regulation. White-rooted lines exhibited negligible chlorophyll...
