Title:
【発明の名称】高硫黄種子タンパク質遺伝子及び植物中の含硫アミノ酸含有量の増加法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH06505387
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
There is provided a novel nucleic acid fragment for the overexpression of a high methionine seed storage protein in plants. This nucleic acid fragment is capable of transforming plants, particularly crop plants, to overexpress a corn seed storage protein in seeds or leaves. The invention is of significant interest for the nutritional improvement of sulfur amino acid-poor plants, such as corn and soybean. There is also provided chimeric genes, host cells, plants, seeds and microorganisms containing the nucleic acid fragment as well as methods for obtaining the overexpression of the seed storage protein in microorganisms.
