METHODS FOR PRODUCING PLANTS WITH ALTERED LEVELS OF SULPHATED SECONDARY METABOLITES

摘要

According to the present invention there is provided a method of producing aplant ora plant cell having an altered level of at least one glucosinolate, saidmethodcomprising obtaining a plant or plant cell comprising at least one activeAdenosine--5'-Phosphosulphate Kinase (APS kinase, Apk) gene and preventing orinhibiting theproduction and/or function of the gene product encoded by at least oneAdenosine-5'--Phosphosulphate Kinase (APS kinase, Apk) gene, preferablydisrupting expression ofat least one Adenosine-5'-Phosphosulphate Kinase (APS kinase, Apk) gene.
