METHOD FOR INCREASING THE SACCHAROSE YIELD IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION OF SUGAR BEET OR SUGAR CANE PLANTS

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a nucleic acid suitable for reducing the enzymatic activity of an invertase for configuring a saccharose storage organ of a plant, wherein the saccharose concentration is increased relative to the saccharose concentration of an unchanged control saccharose storage organ of the same genotype at a comparable stage of development. The increase in saccharose concentration by X percentage points can thereby lead to a changed or unchanged saccharose storage organ yield, wherein, in the case of a reduction in the saccharose storage organ yield, the reduction is a maximum of 5X percent. The invention further relates to a method for increasing the saccharose yield in agricultural production of sugar beet or sugar cane plants, wherein sugar beet or sugar cane plants are used, the genetic makeup thereof being set up for reducing the enzymatic activity of an invertase.
