  • COMPOSITIONS AND RELATED METHODS FOR MODULATING ALKALOID PRODUCTION BY CONTROLLING PMT PROMOTER ACTIVATION MEDIATED BY TRANSCRIPTIONAL FACTORS ERF AND MYC
    Publication number: 20240010691
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for modifying the production levels of alkaloids in plants are provided. Alkaloid production can be genetically controlled by modulating the transcriptional activation of PMT genes mediated by members of the ERF family and/or Myc family of transcription factors. Novel nucleotide sequences encoding the Myc family of transcription factors are also provided.
