The R2R3 Transcription Factor CsMYB59 Regulates Polyphenol Oxidase Gene CsPPO1 in Tea Plants (Camellia sinensis)
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) plays a role in stress response, secondary metabolism, and other physiological processes during plant growth and development, and is also a critical enzyme in black tea production. However, the regulatory mechanisms of PPO genes and their activity in tea plants are still unc...
