CDP-DAG synthases regulate plant growth and broad-spectrum disease resistance.

Phosphatidic acid (PA) functions as a cell membrane component and signaling molecule in plants. PA metabolism has multiple routes, in one of which PA is converted into cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) by CDP-DAG synthases (CDSs). genes are highly conserved in plants.

Physiological Responses of Cigar Tobacco Crop to Nitrogen Deficiency and Genome-Wide Characterization of the Family Genes.

Tobacco prefers nitrate as a nitrogen (N) source. However, little is known about the molecular components responsible for nitrate uptake and the physiological responses of cigar tobacco to N deficiency. In this study, a total of 117 nitrate transporter 1 (NRT1) and peptide transporter (PTR) family (NPF) genes were comprehensively identified and systematically characterized in the whole tobacco genome.
