Carrot <i>AOX2a</i> Transcript Profile Responds to Growth and Chilling Exposure

Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a key enzyme of the alternative respiration, known to be involved in plant development and in response to various stresses. To verify the role of <i>DcAOX1</i> and <i>DcAOX2a</i> genes in carrot tap root growth and in response to cold stress, thei...
