Functional characterization of LeWRKY24 targeting LeSAT2 to promote acylshikonin biosynthesis.
(R)-shikonin/(S)-alkannin and their derivatives (collectively denoted as shikonins) are abundantly distributed in Boraginaceae roots. Acetylshikonin, as a crucial derivative of (R)-shikonin, possesses substantial research significance. Previous investigations have shown that LeSAT2, specifically catalyzes the acylation...
