PLANT HAVING CONTROLLED ACCUMULATION CONTENT OF METHIONINE-ORIGINATED GLUCOSINOLATE AND METHIONINE AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE PLANT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To find a new gene related to a methionine-originated glucosinolate (Met-GSL) biosynthesis-controlling factor, a biosynthesis enzyme and the like: and to provide a plant having a controlled Met-GSL content or methionine content.;SOLUTION: A method for obtaining a plant having a controlled methionine-originated glucosinolate (Met-GSL) content and methionine content by using a gene encoding any of the following proteins (a), (b) and (c) existing in plants and an obtained plant are provided. (a) The protein comprising a specific amino acid sequence, (b) the protein comprising the amino acid sequence in which one or more amino acids are deleted, replaced or added, and which has the transport activity of a methionine-originated glucosilate production intermediate, and (c) the protein comprising an amino acid sequence having a homology of ≥80% based on the specific amino acid sequence, and having the transport activity of a methionine-originated glucosilate production intermediate.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
