Polynucleotides and polypeptides involved in the biosynthetic pathway of chlorogenic acids in the coffee plant are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for using these polynucleotides and polypeptides for the manipulation of flavor, aroma, and other features of coffee beans, as well as for the protection of coffee plants against diseases or oxidative stress.

Polynucleotides encoding phenylpropanoid pathway enzymes in coffee

Polynucleotides encoding polypeptides that comprise the biosynthetic pathway for phenylpropanoids and flavonoids in the coffee plant are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for using these polynucleotides and polypeptides for the manipulation of flavor, aroma, and other features of coffee beans, as well as the manipulation resistance to pathogen, herbivore, and insect attack in the coffee plant.

Polynucleotides encoding phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthetic pathway enzymes in coffee

Polynucleotides encoding polypeptides that comprise the biosynthetic pathway for lignins in the coffee plant are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for using these polynucleotides and polypeptides for the manipulation of flavor, aroma, and other features of coffee beans, as well as the manipulation resistance to pathogen, herbivore, and insect attack in the coffee plant.
