Process to improve the capacity of a host plant for destoxificar superoxido, cell plant capable of producing dismutase of superoxido,The plant can produce higher levels of dismutase of superoxido and tape Expression

摘要

Plant species having enhanced superoxide dismutase activity as a result of transformation with a DNA expression cassette comprising an E. coli MnSOD gene are provided. Transportation of the expression product of the gene may be targeted to a specific cell organelle, such as the chloroplast.
