metabolism | spermidine synthase is a key enzyme for polyamine biosynthesis | Malus domestica |
additional information | homozygous overexpressing transgenic tomato plant lines show a high level of Md-SPDS1 mRNA expression and a 1.5 to 2fold increase in the levels of free spermidine in fruits compared to the wild-type plants. Analysis of pericarp-columella and metabolites in placenta tissues reveal distinct metabolic profiles between the wild-type and transgenic lines, particularly at the late ripening stages, phenotypes, overview. The transgenic tomato fruits also show an increase in carotenoid accumulation, especially in lycopene, and increased ethylene production compared to wild-type fruits. Genes responsible for lycopene biosynthesis, including phytoene synthase, phytoene desaturase, and deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase, are significantly up-regulated in ripe transgenic fruits, whereas genes involved in lycopene degradation, including lycopene-epsilon cyclase and lycopene beta cyclase, are downregulated in the transgenic fruits compared to the wild-type | Malus domestica |
