Plant carrying genes coding for enzymes of the track biosynthesis of phytosterols, and method of obtaining.

摘要

Plant carrying in its genome one or more genes coding for one or more enzymes of the early stages of the phytosterol biosynthesis pathway. The genes are capable of coding for a mevalonate kinase, a farnesyl disphosphate synthetase or a mevalonyl 5-phosphate kinase and can be the genes ERG12, ERG20 and ERG8. The plants in which these genes are introduced in a stable manner have a number of advantages including increased development, enhanced productivity and regenerative ability.
