Abstract
The aim of the project is to identify transcription factor(s) regulated by TTG1 that are involved in controlling anthocyanin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. The expression of MYC homologues in wild-type and ttg1 mutant plants will be examined by northern blotting and in situ hybridisation. cDNAs encoding TTG1-regulated MYC homologues will be introduced into ttg1 mutants under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and their effects on anthocyanin synthesis examined. Plants expressing antisense RNA from the MYC-related cDNAs will also be examined for their effects on anthocyanin synthesis.
