"Tannin" is a very generic term, and can refer to any of a wide range of different polyphenols. Tannin production is presumably closely linked to lignin biosynthesis in plants, and there's literally dozens of genes involved in that.
Could you tell us a bit more where your hunch is coming from? That might narrow down which tannins and which genes are involved.

Any clue on the sequence of tannin producing genes? In working with mimosa pudica atm and have a hunch about tannins in the pulvini cells and their relation to mechanosensory responses. I want to silence the genes for tannin production and see if that shuts off movement. Ill do a genbank search in tandem but was curious as to the group's thoughts on the matter.--
