Patent

CA 2482460

Provided is the tissue specific manipulation of the EIN2 and/or EIN3 ethylene~signaling genes, permitting the controlled regulation of flower and/or leaf abscission in a commercially useful plant, since flower and leaf abscission are positively regulated by the plant hormone ethylene. In particular, controlled expression of the EIN2 gene, permits reduction of early- season flower abscission. The altered expression of ethylene signaling gene(s) enhances the commercial value of the plant, thereby producing a more productive and/or more efficiently harvested crop. Further provided are new insights into the mechanisms involved in the ethylene signaling pathway.

L'invention concerne la manipulation tissulaire spécifique des gènes <I>EIN2</I> et/ou <I>EIN3</I> à signalisation éthylénique permettant une régulation contrôlée de l'abscission des fleurs et/ou des feuilles étant donné que l'abscission des fleurs et des feuilles est l'objet d'une régulation positive au moyen de l'éthylène hormonal de la plante. En l'occurrence, l'expression contrôlée du gène <I>EIN2</I>, permet de réduire l'abscission précoce des fleurs. L'expression altérée du/des gène(s) de signalisation éthylénique accroît la valeur commerciale de la plante, ce qui donne un rendement de production plus élevé et permet une cueillette plus efficace. L'invention concerne également une mise à jour des connaissances sur les mécanismes intervenant dans le chemin de signalisation éthylénique.
