PLANT OF GENUS NICOTIANA WITH REDUCED CONTENT OF CARBONYLS IN COMBUSTION SMOKE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant of the genus Nicotiana with a reduced content of carbonyls in plant combustion smoke.

SOLUTION: There is provided the plant of the genus Nicotiana in which the expression of a gene encoding one of the proteins shown in the following (a) to (c) has been suppressed: (a) a protein having a specific amino acid sequence; (b) a protein having an amino acid sequence in which one or more amino acids have been deleted, substituted or added in the specific amino acid sequence and capable of controlling the content of carbonyls in plant combustion smoke; and (c) a protein having an amino acid sequence with a homology of 85% or more to the specific amino acid sequence and capable of controlling the content of carbonyls in plant combustion smoke.
