Abstract:
Disclosed herein are nucleic acid molecules isolated from coffee (Coffea spp.) comprising sequences that encode mannan synthase or galactomannan galactosyltransferase. Also disclosed are methods for using these polynucleotides for gene regulation and manipulation of the polysaccharide molecules of coffee plants, to influence extraction characteristics and other features of coffee beans.
Abstract:
Disclosed are isolated nucleic acids for modulating coffee maturation. Also disclosed are promoters derived from such genes. Methods for using the nucleic acids for improving quality attributes of coffee are provided. Also provided are methods for assessing the quality of plant-based agricultural products, such as coffee.
