Abstract
The invention provides plant isoflavonoid hydroxylase coding sequences. Also provided are constructs comprising these sequences, plants transformed therewith and methods of use thereof. In certain aspects of the invention, plants transformed with the nucleic acids are provided exhibiting improved pest and disease resistance. Plants provided by the invention may also exhibit improved nutritional qualities.
Claims18
An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding plant isoflavone 3′-hydroxylase, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:6;
- (b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:5;
- (c) a nucleic acid sequence hybridizing to SEQ ID NO:5 under conditions of 0.15 M NaCl and 70° C.;
- (d) a nucleic acid sequence comprising at least 85% sequence identity over the full length the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5;
- and
- (e) a nucleic acid sequence complementary to the nucleic acid sequence of polynucleotide sequence of (a), (b), (c) or (d).
