Patent number: 6835540Abstract: The present invention provides a high-throughput method for identifying a polynucleotide which encodes a transcription factor for controlling the expression of one or more genes in a pathway. In particular, the method is useful for identifying a transcription factor for controlling a gene in a biosynthetic pathway. The invention further provides polynucleotides encoding such transcription factors for controlling the expression of a gene in a biosynthetic pathway, transgenic cells expressing at least one such polynucleotide, and methods for isolating metabolites from such cells or plants.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2001Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventor: Pierre Broun
