This invention encompasses the identification and isolation genes and gene fragments that confer altered metabolic characteristics in
Nicotiana benthamiana
plants, when expressed using GENEWARE™ viral vectors. These genes are derived from a variety of sources. Expression of these genes resulted in alterations of the levels of at least one of the following metabolites: acids, fatty acids, amino acids and related compounds, branched fatty acids, carbohydrates, hydrocarbons, alkaloids and other bases, esters, glycerides, phenols and related compounds, alcohols, alkenes and alkynes, sterols, oxygenated terpenes, and other isoprenoids, and ketones and quinones.
本发明包括鉴定和分离基因和基因片段,这些基因和基因片段可使
烟草
GENEWARE™ 病毒载体进行表达时,可使烟曲霉属(Nicotiana benthamiana)植物的代谢特性发生改变的基因和基因片段的鉴定和分离。这些基因的来源多种多样。这些基因的表达导致以下至少一种代谢物水平的改变:酸、脂肪酸、氨基酸和相关化合物、支链脂肪酸、碳水化合物、碳氢化合物、生物碱和其他碱、酯、甘油酯、酚和相关化合物、醇、烯和炔、甾醇、含氧萜烯和其他异戊烯类化合物、酮和醌。
