NUCLEIC ACID FRAGMENTS AND METHODS FOR INCREASING THE LYSINEAND THREONINE CONTENT OF THE SEEDS OF PLANTS
A unique nucleic acid subfragment encoding lysine-insensitive aspartokinase (AK) is capable of causing a higher than normal production of threonine, when linked to a nucleic acid subfragment encoding lysine-insensitive dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase (DHDPS) higher than normal production of lysine....

Zusammenfassung: | A unique nucleic acid subfragment encoding lysine-insensitive aspartokinase (AK) is capable of causing a higher than normal production of threonine, when linked to a nucleic acid subfragment encoding lysine-insensitive dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase (DHDPS) higher than normal production of lysine. A further embodime nt also includes a subfragment encoding antisense lysine ketoglutarate reductase. Nucleic acid sequences and chimeric genes ar e provided, as well as methods for increasing the lysine or threonine content of seeds of plants. |
