Title
Engineering Secondary Metabolism in Maize Cells by Ectopic Expression of Transcription Factors
Erich Grotewold; Mark Chamberlin; Maurice Snook; et al. The Plant Cell 1998. doi:10.1105/tpc.10.5.721
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Maize cell lines engineered to express C1 and R accumulated two cyanidin derivatives.
- Intervention effect Maize cell lines that express P accumulated various 3-deoxy flavonoids.
- Intervention effect P-expressing cultured maize cells unexpectedly also accumulated phenylpropanoids and green fluorescent compounds targeted to different subcellular compartments.
- Intervention effect Endogenous genes c2 and a1 were independently activated by ectopic expression of either P or C1/R.
- Mechanism The results support a model in which the gene encoding P may act as a quantitative trait locus controlling insecticidal C-glycosyl flavone level in maize silks.
- Mechanism The results suggest how p1 might confer a selective advantage against insect predation in maize.
