METHODS OF INCREASING PROTEIN, OIL, AND/OR AMINO ACID CONTENT IN PLANTS

The invention provides methods of increasing the protein, oil, and/or amino acid content in a plant by manipulating the expression of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) homologs. Expression cassettes for achieving such gene expression manipulation and transgenic plant cells and plants comprising t...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides methods of increasing the protein, oil, and/or amino acid content in a plant by manipulating the expression of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) homologs. Expression cassettes for achieving such gene expression manipulation and transgenic plant cells and plants comprising the constructs and cassettes are also provided. Methods of plant breeding using these plants have also been developed. La présente invention concerne des méthodes visant à augmenter la teneur en protéines, en huile et/ou en acides aminés d'une plante. Les méthodes consistent à manipuler le niveau d'expression des homologues de la tréhalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS). L'invention concerne également des cassettes d'expression permettant d'effectuer une telle manipulation de l'expression génique, ainsi que des cellules de plantes transgéniques et des plantes comprenant les constructions et les cassettes. Des méthodes de sélection de plantes à l'aide de ces plantes ont également été développées.
