Disclosed are polynucleotides that encode polypeptides comprising the biosynthetic pathways of carotenoids and apocarotenoids in coffee plants. Methods of using promoter sequences derived from coffee carotenoid genes, and their polynucleotides, polypeptides, and promoter sequences, in addition to genetic control and manipulation of coffee bean flavor, aroma, and other characteristics, in the manipulation of photosynthesis in coffee plants Is also disclosed.
