CA 2173730

The present invention relates to a method for producing plants with improved agronomic and nutritional traits. Such traits include enhanced nitrogen assimilatory and utilization capacities, faster and more vigorous growth, greater vegetative and reproductive yields, and enriched or altered nitrogen content in vegetative and reproductive parts. More particularly, the invention relates to the engineering of plants modified to have altered expression of key enzymes in the nitrogen assimilation and utilization pathways. In one embodiment of the present invention, the desired altered expression is accomplished by engineering the plant for ectopic overexpression of one of more native or modified nitrogen assimilatory enzymes. The invention also has a number of other embodiments, all of which are disclosed herein.

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de production de plantes à caractéristiques agricoles et nutritionnelles améliorées. De telles caractéristiques comprennent des aptitudes d'assimilation et d'utilisation d'azote améliorées, une croissance plus rapide et plus vigoureuse, des rendements végétatifs et reproductifs améliorés, ainsi qu'une teneur enrichie ou modifiée en azote dans les parties végétatives et reproductives. L'invention se rapporte plus particulièrement à la modification génétique de plantes afin qu'elles présentent une expression modifiée d'enzymes clés dans les voies d'utilisation et d'assimilation d'azote. Selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, l'expression modifiée requise est obtenue par la modification génétique de la plante de façon qu'elle présente une surexpression ectopique d'une ou plusieurs enzymes d'assimilation d'azote natives ou modifiées. Plusieurs autres modes de réalisation de l'invention sont également décrits.
