MODIFIED LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT GLUTENIN WITH REDUCED RISK TO PATIENTS WITH CELIAK DISEASE

摘要

The present invention relates to transgenic plants, such as wheat or maize, comprising plant cells having SEQ.ID.NO 1 and seeds derived from those plants. It also relates to the use of said seed for the preparation of a flour which in turn is used for the preparation of food and/or feed such as dough, batters, pastries, cookies, pasta, wafers, bread and/or confectionery. The thus obtained gliadin-free foodstuff is beneficial for feeding patients suffering from coeliac disease and/or other forms of gluten intolerance.
