The development of tools and effective strategies for the optimisation of useful secondary METAbolite PROduction in planta (METAPRO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
In the METAPRO project we aim to optimise the production of several useful isoprenoid derived secondary metabolites to demonstrate the tools and strategies developed for the generic production of useful secondary metabolites in plants. Astaxanthin (ketocarotenoids) and the apocarotenoid crocin have been selected to demonstrate the application of the technologies adopted and developed. These compou ...
