Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a method for modulating (e.g. decreasing) the alkaloid content of a plant (e.g. a tobacco plant), the method comprising modifying said plant by modulating (e.g. decreasing) the expression of at least one armadillo repeat protein. The present invention also provides for the use of an armadillo repeat protein for modulating the alkaloid content of a plant, as well as tobacco cells, plants, plant propagation materials, harvested leaves, processed tobaccos, or tobacco products obtainable in accordance with the invention.
