The invention concerns plant cells and plants, which synthesize an increased amount of hyaluronan, and to methods for producing these plants as well as to methods for producing hyaluronan with the aid of these plant cells or plant. According to the invention, plant cells or genetically modified plants have the activity of a hyaluronan synthesis and an increased activity of a UDP glucose dehydrogenase (UDP-GIc-DH) in comparison to wild type plant cells or wild type plants. The invention also relates to the use of plants with increased hyaluronan synthesis for producing hyaluronan and food- and feedstuffs containing hyaluronan. |
