The invention provides a process for the production of tehalose in vegetable cells capable of producing tehalase by means of the development of the vegetable cells that have the genetic information required for the production of the trehalase or of the tehalase or cultivating a plant or a part of the same comprising such vegetable cells characterized in that the vegetable cells develop or the plant or a part of the same cultivated in the presence of a trehalase inhibitor. La invencion proporciona un proceso para la produccion de trehalosa en células vegetales capaces de producir trehalasa mediante el desarrollo de las células vegetales que tienen la informacion genética requerida para la produccion de la trehalosa y de la trehalasa, o cultivando una planta o una parte de la misma, que comprende tales células vegetales, caracterizado porque las células vegetales se desarrollan, o la planta o una parte de la misma, se cultivan en presencia de un inhibidor de trehalasa.
