EXPRESSION
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
expression at both mRNA and protein level is higher in the first than in the fourth leaf
-
expression is increased in presence of methyl jasmonate and in presence of 0.05 mM salicylic acid
naturally occuring low-caffeine fruits have a lower expression of the theobromine synthase and caffeine synthase genes and also contain an extra transcript of the caffeine synthase gene encoding a mutant form. The absence of caffeine in these mutants probably results from a combination of transcriptional regulation and the presence of mutations
