Article Synopsis
- Plant type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) play key roles in banana growth, development, and defense by producing various polyketide compounds for specialized metabolic pathways (SMPs).
- A comparative analysis of the A (Musa acuminata) and B (Musa balbisiana) banana genomes identified multiple PKS types and highlighted significant duplication events that expanded the PKS family.
- Expression profiling of selected PKSs in response to jasmonic acid and salicylic acid treatments revealed that certain PKSs showed high expression levels, indicating their potential roles in producing flavonoids and other compounds relevant for banana defense mechanisms.
