CA 2672773

Polynucleotides, nucleic acid constructs, and methods are disclosed for the modification of cellulose and/or lignin content in plant tissues. Plants are genetically engineered with a gene encoding a C3HC4 protein, which leads to increased cellulose content when over-expressed in the plant vascular system. Plant transformants harboring the C3HC4 protein gene show increased content of cellulose and/or decreased lignin content, traits that are thought to improve hardwood trees for cellulose extraction during pulping and papermaking.

L'invention concerne des polynucléotides, des constructions d'acides nucléiques, et des procédés destinés à modifier la teneur en cellulose et/ou en lignine des tissus végétaux. Les plantes sont génétiquement modifiées au moyen d'un gène codant une protéine C3HC4, qui se traduit par une augmentation de la teneur en cellulose en cas de surexpression dans le système vasculaire de la plante. Les transformants de plante hébergeant le gène de la protéine C3HC4 présentent une teneur augmentée en cellulose et/ou une teneur en lignine réduite, ces caractéristiques servant à améliorer les feuillus pour l'extraction de cellulose lors de la réduction en pâte et de la fabrication de papier.
