Overexpression of NtGSTU10 gene enhances nicotine content in hybrids by promoting the synthesis and transport metabolism of nicotine
The results indicated that overexpression of the NtGSTU10 gene promotes the synthesis and transport metabolism of nicotine in tobacco, positively contributing to increased nicotine content in hybrids. The research findings provide a molecular basis for regulating the nicotine transport and accumulation in hybrids, and also provide genetic resources for the targeted cultivation of new tobacco varieties with suitable nicotine content.
