  • NOVEL GENE ENCODING MYB TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR INVOLVED IN PROANTHOCYANIDIN SYNTHESIS
    Publication number: 20120208198
    Abstract: An isolated or recombinant MYB polypeptide having activity as a transcription factor in the synthesis of proanthocyanidins in plants, and nucleic acid molecule encoding same, wherein the polypeptide activates in the plants (a) promoters of the leucoanthocyanidin (LAR) and anthocyanidid reductase (ANR) genes, and (b) promoters of at least two of the genes of the general flavonoid pathway. Use of the polypeptide and nucleic acid molecule in regulating the biosynthesis and accumulation of proanthocyanidins in plants, such as in modifying pasture quality of legumes, is also disclosed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 9, 2012
    Publication date: August 16, 2012
    Inventors: Jochen Bogs, Amanda Ruth Walker, Simon Piers Robinson
