General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function constitutive expression of isoflavone synthase in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) leaves leads to genistein glucoside production (up to 50 nmol/g fresh weight) and to accumulation of glucosides of biochanin A and pratensein. IFS1 is highly expressed in all transgenic organs examined, while genistein accumulation is limited to leaves. IFS1-expressing lines accumulate additional isoflavones, including formononetin and daidzein and the phytoalexin medicarpin, in response to UV-B or Phoma medicaginis. IFS1 expression does not significantly alter global gene expression in the leaves Medicago truncatula
