摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide transgenic plants which accumulate free amino acids, particularly at least one amino acid selected from among glutamic acid, asparagine, aspartic acid, serine, threonine, alanine and histidine accumulated in a large amount, in the edible parts thereof, and a method of producing them are provided. The other object of the present invention is to provide a method of increasing the yielding of potato and to provide a transgenic potato of which yielding can be increased. In the present invention, a sequence encoding glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) gene is introduced into a plant together with a suitable regulatory sequence to express it in a plant cell, and thereby the GDH gene is excessively expressed.
摘要:
The present invention provides a genetically modified plant that biosynthesizes an increased amount of capsinoids, a method of producing the genetically modified plant, and a production method of capsinoids from the genetically modified plant. More particularly, the present invention provides a genetically modified plant capable of producing capsinoids, which shows a decreased expression or activity of an enzyme that catalyzes an amino group conversion reaction from vanillin to vanillylamine as compared to wild strains, and the like. As a method of suppressing expression or activity of an enzyme, an introduction of DNA encoding an antisense RNA, iRNA, ribozyme or dominant-negative mutant for the target gene, a destruction of the gene by a knockout method, mutagen treatment or transposon insertion, an introduction of a gene encoding an antibody against the enzyme and the like can be mentioned.
