Abstract: Provided are transgenic organisms, such as plants and plant parts, cells, and related compositions and methods for producing and monitoring the genotype for enhanced production of montbretin A and/or its precursors. For example, provided is a transgenic organism comprising at least one heterologous nucleic acid operatively linked to a promoter, wherein the heterologous nucleic acid encodes at least one enzyme in a montbretin A (MbA) metabolic pathway. The organisms can be a plant, plant part, or plant cell, or a microorganism such as a yeast. Also provided is a method for producing at least one montbretin A (MbA) precursor and/or MbA, comprising permitting the expression of the at least one heterologous nucleic acid in the transgenic organism. The disclosure also provides isolated nucleic acid molecules that comprise sequence encoding at least one enzyme in a montbretin A (MbA) metabolic pathway and vectors comprising the nucleic acids.
