The present invention relates to genes, and markers therefor, involved in lutein production in cereal plants such as wheat. In particular, the invention characterizes .epsilon.-cyclase and phytoene synthase genes from wheat. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the manipulation of .epsilon.-cyclase and/or phytoene synthase expression to alter colour traits of a plant which can effect the characteristics of food and/or non-food products obtained from said plants.
La présente invention concerne des gènes et des marqueurs pour ceux-ci, impliqués dans la production de lutéine dans des plantes de céréales telles que le blé. En particulier, l'invention caractérise des gènes de la e-cyclase et de la phytoène synthase à partir du blé. En outre, la présente invention concerne la manipulation de l'expression de la e-cyclase et/ou de la phytoène synthase de façon à modifier les traits de couleur d'une plante ce qui peut affecter les caractéristiques de produits alimentaires et/ou non-alimentaires obtenus à partir desdites plantes.
