CA 2276087

Plant phytosterol compositions are modulated in transgenic plants to confer resistance to insects, nematodes, fungi, and/or other environmental stresses, and/or to improve the nutritional value of the plants. Recombinant DNA molecules of the invention encode RNA or protein sequences capable of altering plant sterol profiles by affecting the expression or activity of sterol biosynthetic enzymes. The DNA molecules are transformed into plant cells and plants having altered sterol compositions are regenerated therefrom.

Cette invention se rapporte à la modulation des compositions de phytostérols dans des plantes transgéniques, qui permet de conférer à ces plantes une certaine résistance aux insectes, aux nématodes, aux champignons et/ou aux agressions exercées par l'environnement, et/ou d'accroître la valeur nutritionnelle de ces plantes. L'invention se rapporte à des molécules d'ADN recombinées qui codent l'ARN ou les séquences protéiques susceptibles de modifier les profils de stérols des plantes par modification de l'expression ou de l'activité d'enzymes assurant la synthèse biologique des stérols. Les molécules d'ADN sont transformées en cellules végétales et les plantes régénérées à partir de ces cellules possèdent des compositions de stérols modifiées.
