Vitamin deficiency affects up to 50% of the world's population, disproportionately impacting on developing countries where populations endure monotonous, cereal-rich diets. Transgenic plants offer an effective way increase vitamin content staple crops, but thus far it has only been possible enhance individual vitamins. We created elite inbred South African transgenic corn in which levels 3 vitamins were increased specifically endosperm through simultaneous modification separate metabolic...
Combinatorial nuclear transformation is a novel method for the rapid production of multiplex-transgenic plants, which we have used to dissect and modify complex metabolic pathway. To demonstrate principle, transferred 5 carotenogenic genes controlled by different endosperm-specific promoters into white maize variety deficient endosperm carotenoid synthesis. We recovered diverse population transgenic plants expressing enzyme combinations showing distinct phenotypes that allowed us identify...
The profile of secondary metabolites in plants reflects the balance biosynthesis, degradation and storage, including availability precursors products that affect metabolic equilibrium. We investigated impact precursor-product on carotenoid pathway endosperm intact rice because this tissue does not normally accumulate carotenoids, allowing us to control each component pathway. generated transgenic expressing maize phytoene synthase gene (ZmPSY1) bacterial desaturase (PaCRTI), which are...
The apocarotenoid crocetin and its glycosylated derivatives, crocins, confer the red colour to saffron. Crocetin biosynthesis in saffron is catalysed by carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase CCD2 (AIG94929). No homologues have been identified other plant species due very limited presence of derivatives kingdom. Spring Crocus with yellow flowers accumulate crocins stigma tepals. Four CCDs, namely CaCCD1, CaCCD2 CaCCD4a/b CaCCD4c were first cloned characterized. was localized plastids, a longer...
Cofactor requirement was determined for the heterologous expressed phytoene desaturases from cyanobacterium Synechococcus and higher plant Gentiana lutea. The cyanobacterial enzyme is dependent on either NAD(P) or plastoquinone, whereas only quinones such as plastoquinone can function a cofactor desaturase G. Enzyme kinetic studies were carried out to determine possible competition between cofactors bleaching herbicide norflurazon. For enzyme, norflurazon NADP, well could be demonstrated....
The aim of this study was to assess whether endosperm-specific carotenoid biosynthesis influenced core metabolic processes in maize embryo and endosperm how global seed metabolism adapted expanded biosynthetic capacity. Although enhancement targeted the kernels, a concurrent up-regulation sterol fatty acid measured. Targeted terpenoid analysis, non-targeted metabolomic, proteomic, transcriptomic profiling revealed changes especially carbohydrate transgenic line. In-depth analysis data,...
