Provided herein are methods for producing fermentable sugar obtained from a plant tissue. The methods include providing transgenic plant material comprising one or more locked carbohydrates and contacting plant material with an enzyme capable of converting the locked carbohydrate into a fermentable sugar. The methods are useful for providing sugar or sugar pre-cursors for several industrial purposes including ethanol production. The invention also encompasses plants and plant parts that produce a lock enzyme to yield a locked carbohydrate, with the consequence of accumulating the locked carbohydrate in the plant. The inventon also encompasses providing a key enzyme able to convert locked carbohydrates to fermentable sugars. Key enzymes can be provided by transgenic plants or plant parts, transgenic microbes, transgenic yeast, microbes or yeast.

Linvention concerne des procédés de fabrication dun sucre fermentable obtenu à partir dun tissu végétal. Les procédés comprennent la mise à disposition dun matériau végétal transgénique comprenant un ou plusieurs glucides bloqués et la mise en contact du matériau végétal avec une enzyme capable de transformer le glucide bloqué en un sucre fermentable. Les procédés sont utiles pour fournir un sucre ou des précurseurs de sucres pour plusieurs applications industrielles, y compris la production déthanol. Linvention concerne également des plantes et des parties de plantes qui produisent une enzyme de blocage pour obtenir un glucide bloqué, avec pour conséquence laccumulation du glucide bloqué dans la plante. Linvention concerne également la mise à disposition dune enzyme clé capable de transformer des glucides bloqués en sucres fermentables. Les enzymes clés peuvent être fournies par des plantes ou parties de plantes transgéniques, des microbes transgéniques, des levures transgéniques, des microbes ou des levures.
