Patent

CA 2584661

The invention provides genes that activate wax biosynthesis in plants. Also provided are constructs comprising these sequences, plants transformed therewith and methods of use thereof. The invention allows the modification of plants for increased wax production, particularly in leaves. The inventors have demonstrated increased drought tolerance in connection with increased leaf wax production engineered in plants.

L'invention concerne les gènes qui actionnent la biosynthèse de cire dans des végétaux. Elle concerne aussi des structures comprenant ces séquences, des végétaux transformés avec ces séquences et des procédés de leur utilisation. L'invention permet la modification de végétaux destinée à une augmentation de la production de cire, notamment dans les feuilles. Les inventeurs ont pu faire la démonstration d'une plus grande résistance à la sécheresse liée à une augmentation de la production de cire dans les feuilles, obtenue dans des végétaux.
