MYC2 Regulates Jasmonic Acid‐Mediated Cadmium Accumulation Through Root F3'H‐Dependent Chelation in Tomato

Key Points

• The aim is to understand how SlMYC2 influences cadmium translocation and biosynthesis in tomato roots.
• Analyzed SlMYC2's role in flavonoid biosynthesis.
• Assessed cadmium translocation from roots to shoots in tomatoes.
• Investigated implications for water transport and oxidative stress responses.
• SlMYC2 activation reduces cadmium movement from roots to shoots.
• Increased flavonoid biosynthesis was observed due to SlF3'H activation.
• The findings suggest potential strategies for breeding low-cadmium vegetable crops.
