Recent achievements have been made in the metabolic engineering of plant secondary metabolism. Various pathways have been altered using genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes or genes encoding regulatory proteins. In addition, antisense genes have been used to block competitive pathways, thereby increasing the flux towards the desired secondary metabolites.
植物次生代谢的代谢工程最近取得了一些成果。利用编码生物合成酶的基因或编码调控蛋白的基因改变了各种途径。此外,反义基因已被用于阻断竞争途径,从而增加通往所需次生代谢产物的通量。
