摘要:
The present invention relates to transformed plants with an altered terpene content, preferably over-accumulating a mono- or sesqui-terpene. By transformation of plants with genes encoding terpene synthases (TS), and prenyl transferases (PRT), plants accumulating at least 1000 ng/per g of fresh leaf of a specific terpene were obtained. The present invention provides an advantageous system for production of terpenes in that any desired mono- or sesqui-terpene at the choice of the skilled person can be produced in plants. Preferably, the transformed plants contain at least one recombinant plastid targeted TS and PRT.
摘要:
The present invention relates to plant expressing transgenes and to plants transformed to comprise additional copies of genes, said genes encoding at least a HMGR-CoA reductase and a terpene synthase. The invention further claims methods for preparing the plants, and a method for producing terpenes. The present thus provides a reliable and cost effective platform for generating any terpene, in particular any mono- and/or sesquiterpene of interest. For example, the skilled person may use any gene encoding a sesquiterpene synthase for accumulating the respective sesquiterpene in the plant of the present invention.
