Title:

METHOD OF IMPARTING FORMLADEHYDE-TOLERANCE TO PLANT AND METHOD OF MAKING PLANT TO ABSORB ENVIRONMENTAL FORMALDEHYDE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/054474

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A transformant plant having a formaldehyde metabolic pathway via the Calvin cycle is obtained by transferring a hexulose-6-phosphate synthase gene and a 6-phosphohexulose isomerase gene into a plant and expressing them in the chloroplast. This transformant plant has a tolerance to formaldehyde and makes it possible to significantly decrease environmental formaldehyde. Therefore, it is expected that this plant contributes to environmental purification when located in a house, an office, etc.
