Brassinosteroid-mediated carotenoid regulation enhances chilling tolerance in pepper
These results emphasize that carotenoids and BRs enhance cold resistance in pepper by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and transcriptional responses. This study provides new insights into the interactions between BR signaling and carotenoid metabolism under low-temperature stress and offers a potential strategy for improving low-temperature tolerance in crops.
