Patent

CA 2609236

Methods of making crop plants having higher oil levels in their seeds by increasing glycolytic flux through over-expression of nucleic acids encoding phosphofructokinase are provided. The invention may further comprise the over- expression of nucleic acids encoding a pyruvate kinase to alter oil content in plant seeds, and monocot cells and plants transformed with phosphofructokinase, or phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase transgenes.

L'invention se rapporte à des procédés de production de plantes cultivées ayant des concentrations en huile plus élevées dans leurs graines, lequel procédé consiste à augmenter le flux glycolytique desdites plantes par la surexpression d'acides nucléiques codant la phosphofructokinase. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste également à surexprimer des acides nucléiques codant une pyruvate kinase afin de modifier la teneur en huile des graines de plantes; l'invention concerne également des cellules et des plantes monocotylédones modifiées par la phosphofructokinase ou des transgènes de la phosphofructokinase et de la pyruvate kinase.
