Genes upregulated in a tomato plant having an increased anthocyanin content phenotype

摘要

Tomato anthocyanin vacuolar transporter (“MTP77”) and chalcone isomerase (“MTP96”) are up-regulated in tomato plants that overexpress the ANT1 gene. Plant transformation vectors comprising isolated MTP77 or MTP96 polynucleotides can be made to generate transgenic plants having increased anthocyanin content relative to control plants.
