  • FLAVIN MONOOXYGENASES AND TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS INVOLVED IN GLUCOSINOLATE BIOSYNTHESIS
    Publication number: 20100011462
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and materials relating generally to plant derived flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) capable of catalysing oxidation of a thio- to a sulphinyl-group during glucosinolate biosynthesis. It further relates to plant derived MYB factors capable of transcriptional regulation of biosynthetic genes. These have utility in the modification of glucosinolate biosynthesis.

  • Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases
    Publication number: 20030041346
    Abstract: Cytochrome P450II dependent monooxygenases and DNA molecules encoding these monooxygenases are provided, which are able to catalyze the biosynthethic conversion of aldoximes to nitrils and the conversion of said nitrils to the corresponding cyanohydrins, which are the presursors of cyanogenic glycosides. Moreover, the invention provides methods for obtaining DNA molecules according to the invention and methods for obtaining transgenic plants resistant to insects, acarids, or nematodes or plants with improved nutritive value.
