General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function transgenic plants in which the expression of CYP79D1/CYP79D2 genes is selectively inhibited in leaves by antisense expression of CYP79D1/D2 gene fragments have 60-94% reduced linamarin leaf levels. These plants also have a greater than a 99% reduction in root linamarin content. Transgenic plants in which the CYP79D1/D2 transcripts are reduced to non-detectable levels in roots have normal root linamarin levels. Linamarin synthesized in leaves is transported to the roots and accounts for nearly all of the root linamarin content. Transgenic plants having reduced leaf and root linamarin content are unable to grow in the absence of NH3 Manihot esculenta
