The present invention relates to methods for modulating auxin and glucosinolate production in plants, specifically by modulating CYP83B1 expression. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants that overexpress and underexpress CYP83B1.
Claims7
A Brassica plant transformed with an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2.
A method of producing a transgenic Brassica plant said method comprising:
- (a) introducing an expression construct that comprises a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 operably linked to a promoter which is capable of expressing the polypeptide into a Brassica plant cell to produce a transformed Brassica plant cell;
- and
- (b) producing a transgenic Brassica plant from the transformed plant cell.
