Resveratrol
Resveratrol is an antioxidant. Resveratrol is synthesized from p-Coumaroyl-CoA by stilbene synthase (STS) making the final enzyme in the resveratrol biosynthesis. Moss already produces the precursor p-Coumaroyl-CoA, which makes it simple to engineer moss to produce resveratrol.

The construct for introduction and expression of STS contains are flanked by regions homologous to the moss genome so that the STS-gene will integrate by homologous recombination in moss. The constructs furthermore contains the ZmUbi-promoter, a kanamycin resistance gene and YFP, to confirm transformation.
