Patent

CA 2303911

The present invention provides a method for altering or modifying the content and/or composition of one or more metabolites in the storage organs of a plant, at least comprising the expression of a sulfur-rich protein therein. In particular, the invention provides a method of modifying the fibre content and/or fibre composition and/or starch content and/or nitrogen content and/or non-sulfur-containing amino acid composition and/or anti-nutritional protein content and/or fatty acid content and/or fatty acid composition of the storage organs of a plant. The invention clearly extends to the plants produced by the performance of the inventive method and to genetic constructs which in use produce such plant material.

L'invention concerne une technique qui permet d'altérer ou de modifier la concentration et/ou la composition d'un ou plusieurs métabolites présents dans les organes de stockage d'une plante, et qui comprend au moins l'expression, dans celle-ci, d'une protéine riche en soufre. L'invention concerne notamment une technique qui permet de modifier la concentration des fibres et/ou la composition des fibres et/ou la concentration de l'amidon et/ou la concentration de l'azote et/ou la composition des acides aminés non soufrés et/ou la concentration des protéines non nutritives et/ou la concentration des acides gras et/ou la composition des acides gras dans les organes de stockage d'une plante. L'invention s'étend clairement aux plantes que l'on peut produire en appliquant la technique de l'invention et aux constructions génétiques dont l'utilisation permet de produire ledit matériel végétal.
