Patent

CA 2429031

The present invention provides the use of a regulatory gene Lc and encoded protein to alter the biosynthesis and accumulation of flavonoids including anthocyanins and condensed tannins in plants and plant tissues, particularly in alfalfa, white clover, and other forage legumes which are similar in lacking native condensed tannin accumulation in leaves. The identification of the effects of this gene in alfalfa provide a mechanism for altering flavonoid, anthocyanin and condensed tannin production in forage legumes and allows one to alter such levels to produce a variety of benefits in the field of agriculture, animal farming and food technology in general.

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'un gène de régulation Lc et de la protéine codée afin d'altérer la biosynthèse et l'accumulation de flavonoïdes, y compris d'anthocyanines et de tanins condensés dans des plantes et des tissus de végétaux, particulièrement chez l'alfalfa, le trèfle blanc, et d'autres légumes fourragers dont un point commun concerne le manque d'accumulation de tanin condensé natif dans les feuilles. L'identification des effets de ce gène dans l'alfalfa permet de mettre au jour un mécanisme d'altération de la production de flavonoïde, d'anthocyanine et de tanin condensé dans des légumes fourragers et permet ainsi de changer ces taux afin de produire une variété de bénéfices dans les domaine de l'agriculture, de l'élevage animal, et de la technologie alimentaire, en général.
