Abstract

condensed tannins would significantly contribute to pasture productivity via increased production, forage quality and decreases in adverse environmental impacts. Recent developments suggest it is feasible to achieve this via expression of a single transgene, but that accumulation will only occur in specialised cell types which contain an active anthocyanin pathway. Keywords: Trifolium repens, condensed tannin, anthocyanin
