C07H 21/04
C07K 14/415
US Classification:
800295, 435 61, 435 691, 435468, 435183, 435419, 4353201, 530370, 536 232, 536 236, 800278
Abstract:
Novel expression vectors and constructs encoding a chloroplast transit peptide (CTP) operably linked to a monomeric anthranilate synthase are provided. Additionally, novel polynucleotide sequences encoding monomeric anthranilate synthases are provided. Also provided are methods for increasing the levels of free tryptophan in transgenic plants containing the expression vectors and constructs.

International Classification:
C12N 15/82
C12N 15/63
C12N 15/00
C12N 15/10
A01H 5/00
US Classification:
800278, 800295, 4353201, 435468, 536 231
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for altering the tryptophan content of a plant by introducing and expressing an isolated DNA segment encoding an anthranilate synthase in the cells of the plant. Transgenic plants transformed with an isolated DNA segment encoding an anthranilate synthase, as well as human or animal food, seeds and progeny derived from these plants, are also provided.
