General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | plastid transformed lines exhibit a higher level of anthranilate synthase activity that is less sensitive to tryptophan-feedback inhibition and, consequently, increases free tryptophan levels in leaves about 7fold. Overexpression of ASA2 gene does not result in any negative effects for the plants | Nicotiana tabacum |
