Article Synopsis
- Age affects how plants produce secondary metabolites, which are important for industries, particularly focusing on bixin from the achiote tree.
- In a study, researchers overexpressed a specific microRNA (miR156) in annatto plants, leading to reduced gene expression for bixin production and changes in leaf development.
- The results highlight the role of the miR156-SPL module in controlling bixin biosynthesis and suggest potential strategies for improving bixin yield in breeding efforts.
