GENETIC METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SPROUTING

This invention relates to a method of controlling sprout formation in plants and parts thereof including vegetative storage organs. The method involves the use of target and organ specific promoters to control expression of DNA sequences to inhibit sprouting. Sprouting is restored by switching on ex...

More Information
Summary:This invention relates to a method of controlling sprout formation in plants and parts thereof including vegetative storage organs. The method involves the use of target and organ specific promoters to control expression of DNA sequences to inhibit sprouting. Sprouting is restored by switching on expression of DNA sequences using inducible promoter regions where sprouting may be controlled by, for example, application of an external chemical stimulus.
