Patent

CA 2283750

The invention relates to plants, especially transgenic plants, plant parts and plant cells overproducing an iron binding protein (e.g. ferritin) and having an enhanced resistance against a wide range of abiotic and biotic oxidative stress conditions (e.g. against treatment with paraquat or fusaric acid and against viral, bacterial and fungal infections). The invention also comprises nucleic acid sequences encoding an alfalfa ferritin or functional variants thereof and the use of said sequences for rendering plants resistant against oxidative stress conditions. The invention is useful for reducing environmental damages of crops caused by a wide variety of stress conditions.

L'invention concerne des végétaux, en particulier les plantes transgéniques, les parties de plante et les cellules végétales produisant en surabondance une protéine à pouvoir sidéropexique (par exemple, ferritine) et ayant une résistance accrue contre un large éventail d'états induits par le stress oxydatif de type abiotique et biotique (par exemple, résistance contre le traitement au paraquat ou à l'acide fusarique et contre les infections virales, bactériennes et fongiques). L'invention concerne aussi des séquences d'acides nucléiques codant une ferritine provenant de la luzerne ou ses variantes fonctionnelles, et l'utilisation desdites séquences pour conférer aux végétaux une résistance à ces états de stress oxydatif. L'invention est utile pour réduire les dommages écologiques infligés aux récoltes par une large gamme d'états de stress.
