EOBII, a Gene Encoding a Flower-Specific Regulator of Phenylpropanoid Volatiles' Biosynthesis in Petunia[C][W]

Abstract

Floral scent and color play major roles in the plant's life cycle. Using petunia as a model system, a MYB-like factor was identified that transcriptionally regulates floral scent but not pigmentation. The multilayered regulation allows efficient control of metabolic flux in the phenylpropanoid pathway
