Transcription factor NtELF3 promotes the polyphenol accumulation by targeting NtFLS-1 and NtCHIL-2 genes in tobacco.
It is found that the tobacco transcription factor EARLY FLOWERING 3 (NtELF3), which is highly expressed in tobacco leaves, positively regulates the accumulation of chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, rutin, scopoletin, and total polyphenols in tobacco middle leaves.
