摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing a fruit of a Capsicum plant in which a vitamin C content, in particular a vitamin C content alone, is increased according to a common cultivating procedure without requiring special facility and cultivating procedure. The present invention provides a method of producing a fruit of a Capsicum plant with an increased vitamin C content, characterized by inoculating an attenuated strain of a virus belonging to Tomamovirus to a seedling of the Capsicum plant and cultivating the seedling to the Capsicum plant.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing a barley plant with no or very little LOX-1 activity. SOLUTION: There is provided null-LOX-1 barley and plant products produced thereof, such as malt manufactured by using barley kernels defective in synthesis of the fatty acid-converting enzyme lipoxygenase-1. The enzyme accounts for the principal activity related to conversion of linoleic acid into 9-hydroperoxy octadecadienoic acid (a lipoxygenase pathway metabolite), which through further enzymatic or spontaneous reactions-may lead to the appearance of trans-2-nonenal. The invention enables brewers to produce a beer devoid of detectable trans-2-nonenal-specific off flavors, even after prolonged storage of the beverage. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intimin which is an adhesive protein of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) expressed by a transgenic plant singly or as a fused protein with one or more other antigens, and also to use the plant as a vehicle for stimulating the defensive immunological response against the EHEC and ≥1 other antigens. SOLUTION: This xenogeneic DNA-constructed material is provided by encoding the expression of the intimin, an intimin-like protein or a part of them in the plant, and holding the binding capacity of the intimin, intimin-like protein and a part of them with epithelium cells and also inducing the antibodies for blocking the bonding of bacteria expressing the intimin or intimin-like protein with the epithelium cells.
