Abstract
New cytochrome P-450 dependent monooxygenases and DNA molecules encoding these monooxygenases are provided, which are able to catalyze the biosynthetic pathway from amino acids to their corresponding cyanohydrins, the presursors of the cyanogenic glycosides, or to glucosinolates. Moreover, the invention provides methods for obtaining DNA molecules according to the invention and methods for obtaining transgenic plants resistant to insects, acarids, or nematodes or plants with improved nutritive value.
