An SMR cell-cycle inhibitor inducible by a carotenoid metabolite resets root development and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis
Jeanne Braat, Meryl Jaonina, Pascale David…·Michel Havaux
This study shows that β-CCA, a carotenoid metabolite, induces SMR5 gene expression in Arabidopsis roots, leading to growth inhibition and increased drought tolerance through metabolic reprogramming.
