Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: SrKAH
  • Gene Name: kaurenoic acid hydroxylase
  • Genome:
  • Species: Stevia rebaudiana

Functional Descriptions:

  • Overexpression of SrDXS1 and SrKAH enhances steviol glycosides content in transgenic Stevia plants.
  • Overexpressed the Stevia 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase 1 (SrDXS1) and kaurenoic acid hydroxylase (SrKAH), both of which are required for SGs biosynthesis.
  • Compared to control plants, the total SGs content in SrDXS1- and SrKAH-overexpressing transgenic lines were enhanced by up to 42–54% and 67–88%, respectively, showing a positive correlation with the expression levels of SrDXS1 and SrKAH.
  • Hence, our results show that both SrDXS1 and SrKAH overexpression could increase SGs content in transgenic Stevia without changing the abundance of other metabolites or having any detrimental effects on their growth and development.
