 The researchers studied the effects of the Adam YB12 transcription factor on the production of secondary metabolites in Korean mint-herry roots. They found that the Adam YB12 transcription factor increased the production of secondary metabolites in Korean mint-herry roots grown under light conditions, but not under dark conditions. Additionally, they observed that the Adam YB12 transcription factor activated the primary and secondary metabolic pathways in Korean mint-herry roots grown under light conditions.
