Patent

CA 2294211

The present invention provides a non-naturally occurring seed plant that is characterized by producing seeds of increased size due to ectopic expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL8-related gene product. The AGL8-related gene product can have, for example, substantially the amino acid sequence of an AGL8 ortholog such as Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID NO:2). The present invention further provides a non-naturally occurring seed plant that is characterized by producing fruit of increased size due to ectopic expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL8-family gene product. The AGL8-family gene product can have substantially the amino acid sequence of an AGL8 ortholog, for example, the amino acid sequence of Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID NO:2). Related methods and kits are also provided.

Dans la présente invention, on divulgue un spermatophyte non naturel qui se caractérise par la production de graines de taille supérieure grâce à l'expression ectopique d'une molécule d'acide nucléique codant un produit génique apparenté à AGL8. Le produit génique apparenté à AGL8 peut présenter, par exemple, sensiblement la séquence d'acides aminés d'un orthologue d'AGL8, tel que l'Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID N 2). Dans la présente invention, on divulgue également un spermatophyte non naturel qui se caractérise par la production de fruits de taille supérieure grâce l'expression ectopique d'une molécule d'acide nucléique codant un produit génique de la famille AGL8. Le produit génique de la famille AGL8 peut présenter sensiblement la séquence d'acides aminés d'un orthologue de AGL8, par exemple, la séquence d'acides aminés de l'Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID N 2). On divulgue aussi des méthodes et des ensembles connexes.
