Genome-wide identification of the NAC gene family in taro and functional analysis of CeNAC48 in starch biosynthesis.
Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is an important perennial corm crop, and its corm expansion is accompanied by starch synthesis and accumulation. NAC transcription factors (TFs) serve as important regulators of plant growth and stress adaptation. However, their regulatory mechanisms underlying corm development an...
