  • Publication number: 20240263202
    Abstract: The invention provides recombinant polynucleotides comprising a nucleic acid encoding a CYP76AD6 or related gene and their use for producing L-DOPA from tyrosine and treating dopamine-responsive disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease. The invention also provides recombinant polynucleotides comprising a nucleic acid encoding a CYP76AD1 and/or CYP76AD6, a nucleic acid encoding a DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase (DOD) enzyme, such as Beta vulgaris DODA1, and, in some cases, a nucleic acid encoding betalain related glucosyltransferase, such as M. jalapa gene cyclo-DOPA 5-O-glucosyltransferase (cDOPA5GT), and their use for producing betalains. Finally, the invention provides chimeric polypeptides, expression vectors, cells, compositions, and organisms, including plants, and their uses in various methods of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20220256794
    Abstract: A plant comprising a genome having an introgression which comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity, the introgression comprising allelic variation(s) as compared to a genome of a recurrent parent of the plant, is disclosed. Organisms comprising a genome having been genetically modified to express a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity are also disclosed. Methods of modulating terpene synthesis or transport of metabolites in organisms, methods of producing plants having a terpene synthase activity of interest, having a terpene profile of interest or having a transporter activity of interest are disclosed. Methods of producing a terpene of interest are also disclosed.
