the plan
As stated in the abstract, our goal is to accumulate the pigments lycopene and beta-carotene in the petals of arabidopsis, and we plan to do so by inhibiting the enzymes lycopene epsilon cyclase (LUT2), carotene beta-ring hydroxylase (BETA-OHASE 1), and lycopene beta cyclase (LYC) via artificial microRNA interference.
