ALTERATION OF THE EXPRESSION OF THE ORTHOLOGOUS DELLA-U PROTEIN IN ORDER TO ALTER THE GROWTH PATTERN OF PLANTS AND THE METABOLITE CONTENT OF THE FRUIT

摘要

Alteration of the expression of the orthologous DELLA-u protein in order to alter the growth pattern of plants and the metabolite content of the fruit. The present invention describes novel functions of the SIDELLA gene of Solanum lycopersicum and also the uses thereof and mutant versions of the gene associated with novel phenotypes, requiring the modification of the growth habit and of the metabolism of the plants carrying said alterations, as a certain influence on the metabolite content of the fruit of the tomato plant.
