Background: The variations in alliin content are a crucial criterion for evaluating garlic quality and is the sole precursor for allicin biosynthesis, which is significant for the growth, development, and stress response of garlic. WRKY transcription factors are essential for enhancing stress resistance by regulating the synthesis of plant secondary metabolites. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating alliin biosynthesis remain unexplored.

Despite their significance, the WRKY genes in the wild sweet potato ancestor, Ipomoea pes-caprae, remain unexplored.
Results: In this study, 65 WRKY genes were identified in the I.
Article Synopsis
- Improving plant stress resistance is crucial for food security and agricultural sustainability, particularly in the face of adverse environmental conditions.
- The study identified 12 NAC transcription factors (IpNAC1-IpNAC12) from transcriptome data, which were categorized based on evolutionary relationships and linked to specific genes associated with various stress stimuli.
- Experimental results showed that certain IpNACs contribute to salt tolerance in transgenic sweetpotato plants, revealing their potential as candidate genes for enhancing stress resistance in agriculture.
Background: Allium sativum (garlic) is an economically important food source and medicinal plant rich in sulfides and other protective substances such as alliin, the precursor of allicin biosynthesis. Cysteine, serine and sulfur is the precursor of alliin biosynthesis. However, little is known about the alliin content under abiotic stress or the mechanism by which it is synthesized.
