STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE FLAVONOID PATHWAY TO ENABLE TAILORED PRODUCTION OF BIO-ACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN GRASSES

Objective

To obtain recombinant sorghum flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes and determine their activity and kinetic parametersTo determine the 3D-structure of sorghum flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes based on X-ray crystallographyTo determine the expression of flavonoid biosynthetic genes, with a focus on 3-deoxyanthocyanidins, using sorghum and maize in tissue culture.
