Genome-wide characterization of the AP2/ERF gene family in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi reveals root-preferential and MeJA-responsive candidate genes
APETALA2/ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factors play central roles in plant growth, development and environmental responses. Scutellaria baicalensis is a medicinal plant that predominantly accumulates pharmacologically important flavones in its roots, and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) induced these fl...
