Fig. 7. Relationship between regulatory genes and BIA biosynthetic pathway genes in lotus.
a Cis-elements in the promoter regions 1.5-kb upstream of the translation initiation codon of BIA biosynthetic pathway genes in lotus. ATG, start codon. MeJA methyl jasmonate, MBS MYB binding site. b Estimation of effect of TFs on activation of the promoter of BIA pathway genes using transient dual luciferase assay. Error bars show SE of three biological replicates. Different lowercase letters indicate significant difference at P < 0.05
