| Abstract | The gene for a bacterial enoyl-CoA hydratase (crotonase) homolog (HCHL) previously shown to convert 4-coumaroyl-CoA, caffeoyl-CoA, and feruloyl-CoA to the corresponding hydroxybenzaldehydes in vitro provided an opportunity to subvert the plant phenylpropanoid pathway and channel carbon flux through 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and the important flavor compound 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin). Expression of the Pseudomonas fluorescens AN103 HCHL gene in two generations of tobacco plants caused the development of phenotypic abnormalities, including stunting, interveinal chlorosis and senescence, curled leaf margins, low pollen production, and male sterility. In second generation progeny, the phenotype segregated with the transgene and transgenic siblings exhibited orange/red coloration of the vascular ring, distorted cells in the xylem and phloem bundles, and lignin modification/reduction. There was depletion of the principal phenolics concomitant with massive accumulation of novel metabolites, including the glucosides and glucose esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid and the glucosides of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and vanillyl alcohol. HCHL plants exhibited increased accumulation of transcripts for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamate-4-hydroxylase, and 4-coumarate:CoA ligase, whereas β-1,3-glucanase was suppressed. This study, exploiting the ability of a bacterial gene to divert plant secondary metabolism, provides insight into how plants modify inappropriately accumulated metabolites and reveals the consequences of depleting the major phenolic pools. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
