Expression and functional characterization of a white clover isoflavone synthase in tobacco.

Background And Aims: Trifolium repens (white clover) is a valuable component of pastures due to its ability to fix nitrogen. Productivity of T. repens is sometimes threatened by insect pests, and it has been suggested that phenylpropanoid-derived isoflavonoids such as formononetin can protect white clover from insect damage.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Karl M Fraser"

  • - Karl M Fraser's recent research primarily focuses on the functional characterization of isoflavone synthase, particularly in relation to its role in the defense mechanisms of white clover (Trifolium repens) against insect pests.
  • - The 2012 study published in "Ann Bot" explores how phenylpropanoid-derived isoflavonoids, like formononetin, contribute to the protection of white clover, which is significant for its nitrogen-fixing capabilities in agricultural environments.
  • - Fraser's findings highlight the potential application of genetic manipulation in enhancing plant defenses through the expression of specific isoflavonoid pathways, which could improve crop resilience in pest-prone pastures.
