Transcriptional regulation of sugar transport and starch metabolism during pea seed development following a water deficit

Key Points

• Sugar transport and starch metabolism are significantly affected by water deficit during development.
• The analysis showed altered gene expression related to sugar transport and starch pathways under water deficit.
• These findings contribute to understanding transcriptional regulation in pea seeds facing environmental stress.
• Potential approaches to enhance stress resilience in crops may emerge from these insights.
