CA 2205561

The present invention reveals that biotin biosynthesis in a plant is enhanced when the level of one or more of the enzymes in the plant biotin biosynthetic pathway is increased. Based upon this revelation methods which increase the level of one or more biotin biosynthetic enzymes in plant tissue are provided as a means for achieving enhanced levels of biotin in plant tissue. In particular, a method for enhancing biotin levels by introducing a chimeric gene capable of expressing a biotin biosynthetic enzyme into plant tissue is provided. Resulting transgenic plant tissue, including whole plants, having enhanced levels of biotin are also provided.

La présente invention révèle qu'on accroît la biosynthèse de la biotine dans un végétal lorsqu'on augmente le niveau d'une ou de plusieurs des enzymes dans la voie biosynthétique de la biotine du végétal. D'après cette révélation, on décrit des procédés qui permettent d'accroître le niveau d'une ou de plusieurs des enzymes biosynthétiques de la biotine dans un tissu végétal, en tant que moyen d'obtention de niveaux accrus de biotine dans un tissu végétal. On décrit notamment un procédé permettant d'augmenter les niveaux de biotine par introduction d'un gène chimére capable d'exprimer, dans un tissu végétal, une enzyme biosynthétique de la biotine. On décrit également le tissu végétal transgénique résultant, y compris des végétaux entiers, qui possèdent des niveaux accrus de biotine.
