  • ANTHOCYANIN BIOSYNTHESIS IN CARROT PLANTS
    Publication number: 20220275385
    Abstract: The present invention provides transgenic carrot plants comprising at least one heterologous DNA sequence encoding: (a) a promoter of a transcription factor gene; or (b) a transcription factor geneoperably linked to a promoter; wherein the heterologous DNA sequence increases the expression of at least one gene encoding a sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT). The transcription factor gene is preferably DcMYB90 (SEQ ID NO:1) or DcEGL1 (SEQ ID NO:2) or a sequence having at least 80% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or at least 80% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the sequence encodes a transcription factor protein increasing the expression of sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT) having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.
