Abstract

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.
