Patent

CA 2484001

The invention relates to methods for increasing the oil content in plants, preferably in the seeds of plants, by expression of glycerol-3- phosphatdehydrogenases (G3PDH) from yeast, preferably from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The invention also relates to expression constructs for the expression of G3PDH yeast in plants, preferably in the seeds of plants, transgenic plants expressing G3PDH, and to the use of said transgenic plants in the production of foodstuffs, feed, seeds, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, especially in the production of oils.

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour augmenter la teneur en huile dans des végétaux, de préférence dans des graines végétales, par expression de glycérol-3-phosphate déshydrogénases (G3PDH) de levure, de préférence de Saccharomyces cerevisiae. La présente invention concerne également des constructions d'expression permettant d'exprimer des G3PDH de levure dans des végétaux, de préférence dans des graines végétales, des végétaux transgéniques exprimant des G3PDH de levure, ainsi que l'utilisation desdits végétaux transgéniques pour produire des produits alimentaires, des produits de fourrage, des semences, des produits pharmaceutiques ou des produits de chimie fine, notamment pour produire des huiles.
