A proposed hypothetical model depicting the role of AmA1 in transgenics.

Modulation of shikimate pathway via increased level of several amino acids, particularly phenylalanine, might increase the flux of TPC and TFC in the transgenics. The alteration in shikimate pathway positively correlated with increased expression of key flavonoid pathway genes. The proposed model suggests that seed albumin AmA1 might contribute to higher accumulation of phytophenols in the transgenic tubers.
