METHOD FOR INCREASING PROTEIN CONTENT IN PLANT CELLS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the production of plants with increas ed protein content in leaves, by means of introduction of recombinant DNA molecules. Said recombinant DNA molecules are introduced into the plant, by means of a transformation system and comprise a DNA sequence of plant origin, expressed in plants, the genetic product of which inhibits a protein in leaves with the enzymatic activity of an aspartate protease and/or a serine protease. The plants which displays an increased content in leaf protein are chosen.
