Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are nucleic acid molecules isolated from coffee ( Coffea spp.) comprising sequences that encodes various sucrose metabolizing enzymes, along with their encoded proteins. Specifically, sucrose synthase, sucrose phosphate synthase and sucrose phosphatase enzymes and their encoding polynucleotides from coffee are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for using these polynucleotides for gene regulation and manipulation of the sugar profile of coffee plants, to influence flavor, aroma, and other features of coffee beans.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A nucleic acid molecule isolated from coffee ( Coffea spp.) operably linked to a heterologous polynucleotide, the nucleic acid molecule comprising a coding sequence that encodes a sucrose synthase, wherein the sucrose synthase has an amino acid sequence that (1) comprises one or both of residues 7-554 or 565-727 of SEQ ID NO:8 and (2) is greater than 89% identical to SEQ ID NO:8. 2. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , wherein the sucrose…
