Ketocarotenoid formation in transgenic potato.
Potato has been genetically engineered for the production of commercially important ketocarotenoids including astaxanthin (3,3'-dihydroxy 4,4'-diketo-beta-carotene). To support the formation of 3-hydroxylated and 4-ketolated beta-carotene, a transgenic potato line accumulating zeaxanthin due to inactivated zeaxanthin epoxidase was co-transformed with the crtO beta-carotene ketolase gene from th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Substantial Equivalence of salinity-resistant transgenic potato
Transgenic plants and their products are being developed day by day due to their improved characteristics, and it is necessary to evaluate the safety of these plants before releasing them. Hence, the importance of the issue of biosafety of transgenic plants and the use of their products has led the regulatory agencies to create some laws called substantial equivalence. based on that, the essent...
متن کاملEffect of the cauliflower Or transgene on carotenoid accumulation and chromoplast formation in transgenic potato tubers.
Transgenic plants have facilitated our understanding of the functional roles of genes and the metabolic processes affected in plants. Recently, the Or gene was isolated from an orange cauliflower mutant and it was shown that the Or gene could serve as a novel genetic tool to enrich carotenoid content in transgenic potato tubers. An in-depth characterization of these Or transgenic lines is prese...
متن کاملPathway engineering of Brassica napus seeds using multiple key enzyme genes involved in ketocarotenoid formation.
Brassica napus (canola) plants were genetically manipulated to increase the amount and composition of carotenoids in seeds by using seven key enzyme genes involved in ketocarotenoid formation, which originated from a soil bacterium Pantoea ananatis (formerly called Erwinia uredovora 20D3), and marine bacteria Brevundimonas sp. strain SD212 and Paracoccus sp. strain N81106 (formerly called Agrob...
متن کاملEnhanced salt stress tolerance in transgenic potato plants expressing IbMYB1, a sweet potato transcription factor.
IbMYB1, a transcription factor (TF) for R2R3-type MYB TFs, is a key regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis during storage of sweet potatoes. Anthocyanins provide important antioxidants of nutritional value to humans, and also protect plants from oxidative stress. This study aimed to increase transgenic potatoes' (Solanum tuberosum cv. LongShu No.3) tolerance to environmental stress and enhance t...
