Seed‐specific overexpression of phytoene synthase: Increase in carotenoids and other metabolic effects
Abstract: A bacterial phytoene synthase (crtB) gene was overexpressed in a seed‐specific manner and the protein product targeted to the plastid in Brassica napus (canola). The resultant embryos from these transgenic plants were visibly orange and the mature seed contained up to a 50‐fold increase in carotenoids. The predominant carotenoids accumulating in the seeds of the …
