EfABI4 Transcription Factor Is Involved in the Regulation of Starch Biosynthesis in Euryale ferox Salisb Seeds.

ABSTRACT: Starch is the final product of photosynthesis and the main storage form in plants. Studies have shown that there is a close synergistic regulatory relationship between ABA signal transduction and starch biosynthesis. In this study, we employed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to investigate transcriptomic changes of the Euryale ferox seeds treated by exogenous ABA. The differentially expressed genes engaged in the "Starch and sucrose" and "TCA cycle" pathway. Furthermore, the key transcription factor EfABI4 in ABA signaling pathway and the key genes of starch biosynthesis (EfDBE1, EfSBE2, EfSS1, EfSS2, EfSS3, EfSS4 and EfGBSS1) were significantly up-regulated. Further, the Euryale ferox plant was treated with ABA, it was found that the
