dc.description.abstractValue addition is the key aspect for improving the quality of agriculturally important crops and metabolic engineering has become a very important approach for such modification. Present investigation was carried out for elucidating metabolic pathway for expression of saffron genes involved in biosynthesis of crocin and safranal using tobacco as a model system. Saffron (Crocus sativus) stigmas and style contain vital metabolites such as crocin, crocetin, Picro crocin and safranal; which are known to have profound effect on human health. Saffron, because of its colour and flavour principles and medicinal properties such as anti-carcinogenic, anti-senescent is an important source of genes for quality enhancement in crops through genetic engineering. Because of low production and limited area of cultivation of saffron presently restricted to few districts of Kashmir Valley and high cost of saffron has always been the item of adulteration. Therefore, transferring these traits to the other crop will not only serves as a good option for additional income generation but also reduce the adulteration of saffron with artificially coloured maize silk and petals of florets of other plants such as safflower. In addition to this, the processing industry, food industry, pharmaceutical and perfumery industry may also benefit from the technology as more choices will be available for extraction of these quality metabolites from the genetically transformed host plant tissues for varied uses.en_US
