The present invention provides DNA molecules coding for a UDP-glucose:alycon-glucosyltransferase conjugating cyanohydrins, terpenoids, phenylderivatives or hexanolderivatives to glucose. Trangenic expression of corresponding genes in plants can be used to influence the biosynthesis of the corresponding glucosides.
