Abstract
The present invention provides two novel regulatory genes and encoded proteins which can be used to alter the biosynthesis and accumulation of condensed tannin levels in plants and plant tissues. The present invention further encompasses transgenic constructs containing the novel regulatory genes herein referred to as Ulimyc, Corniculmyc and Japmyc, for use in the transformation of plants and plant tissues and transgenic plants containing such constructs. The identification and characterization of these novel genes provide a mechanism for altering tannin production in plants and allows one to alter such levels to produce a variety of benefits in the field of agriculture, land reclamation animal farming and food technology in general.
