LITERATURE

-
it is possible to engineer plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) which express the high flux pathway for dhurrin synthesis
biotechnology
integration of genes CYP79A1, CYP71E1, and UGT85B1 in Nicotiana tabacum chloroplast genome and functional expression, the enzymes convert endogenous tyrosine into dhurrin using electrons derived directly from the photosynthetic electron transport chain, without the need for the presence of an NADPH-dependent P450 oxidoreductase. The dhurrin produced in the engineered plants amounted to 0.1-0.2% of leaf dry weight compared to 6% in the origin Sorghum bicolor. Plant P450s involved in the synthesis of economically important compounds can be engineered into the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, and their full catalytic cycle can be driven directly by photosynthesis-derived electrons
