β-Cyclocitral, a Master Regulator of Multiple Stress-Responsive Genes in <i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> L. Plants
β-cyclocitral (βCC), a major apocarotenoid of β-carotene, enhances plants’ defense against environmental stresses. However, the knowledge of βCC’s involvement in the complex stress-signaling network is limited. Here we demonstrate how βCC reprograms the transcriptional responses that enable <i>...
