IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF AN ANTHOCYANIN MUTANT (ANT1) IN TOMATO

摘要

Flavonoids are obtained from plants that overexpress an ANT1 gene compared to wild-type plants. The plant may be a transgenic plant that contains a transformation vector that causes the overexpression of ANT1. Alternatively, the plant can be selectively bred to have an allele of or mutation in an endogenous ANT1 gene that causes the overexpression of ANT1 compared to plants lacking the allele or mutation.
