Polynucleotides encoding polypeptides that comprise the biosynthetic pathway for carotenoids and apocarotenoids in the coffee plant are disclosed. Also disclosed are a promoter sequence from a coffee carotenoid gene, and methods for using these polynucleotides, polypeptides, and promoter sequences for gene regulation and the manipulation of flavor, aroma, and other features of coffee beans, as well as the manipulation of photosynthesis in the coffee plant.
