Processes to inhibit pre- and / or post-harvest remobilization of storage compounds in plants, to prevent germination of a plant part, to induce germination in a plant, and to release inhibition of pre- and post-harvest remobilization of storage compounds in plants

摘要

"PROCESSES TO INHIBIT PRE-AND / OR POST-HARVEST REMOBILIZATION OF PLANT STORAGE COMPOUNDS, TO AVOID THE GERMINATION OF A PLANT, TO INDUCT GERMINATION IN A PLANT, AND TO RELEASE THE REMOBISATION OF REMOBILIZATION. HARVESTING OF PLANT STORAGE COMPOUNDS "This invention describes a process to prevent germination in vegetatively propagated plants such as potatoes, strawberries, bananas and bulbous plants such as onion and bulbous flowers, by transforming the plant or a plant from one of its original strains with a gene encoding trehalose phosphate synthase. Germination restoration is also provided.
