More Information
Summary:The invention provides methods, compositions and transformation systems for modifying the levels of transcription factors in plants such as Solanaceous plants, and introducing disease resistance genes into plants, to produce products with elevated levels of antioxidant compounds, including but not limited to flavonols and chlorogenic acid, as well as exhibiting enhanced disease resistance, and optionally altered appearance. Preferred plants are those in which introduced genes are from Solanaceous species. L'invention porte sur des procédés, des compositions et des systèmes de transformation modifiant les niveaux des facteurs de transcription dans des plantes telles que les solanacées, et y introduisant des gènes de résistance aux maladies pour obtenir des produits à forte teneur en composants antioxydants, dont non seulement des flavonols et de l'acide chlorogénique, et présentant une résistance accrue aux maladies et éventuellement une apparence modifiée. Les plantes préférées sont celles dont les gènes introduits sont de l'espèce des solanacées.
