    Drought-induced ABA, H2O2 and JA positively regulate CmCAD genes and lignin synthesis in melon stems

    Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) is an important enzyme functions at the last step in lignin monomer synthesis pathway. Our previous work found that drought induced the expressions of CmCAD genes and promoted...
