Patent

CA 2613160

Methods and means are provided for the modification of the reactivity of plant cell walls, particularly as they can be found in natural fibers of fiber producing plants by inclusion of positively charged oligosaccharides or polysaccharides into the cell wall. This can be conveniently achieved by expressing a chimeric gene encoding an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, particularly an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, capable of being targeted to the membranes of the Golgi apparatus in cells of a plant.

L'invention concerne des méthodes et des moyens servant à modifier la réactivité de parois cellulaires de plantes, en particulier, dans des fibres naturelles de plantes produisant des fibres, par inclusion d'oligosaccharides ou de polysaccharides chargés positivement dans la paroi cellulaire. Ceci peut s'effectuer par expression d'un gène chimère codant une N-acétylglucosamine transférase, en particulier une N-acétylglucosamine transférase, capable d'être ciblée vers les membranes de l'appareil de Golgi des cellules de la plante.
