Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Two genes, A622 and NBB1, can be influenced to achieve a decrease of nicotinic alkaloid levels in plants. In particular, suppression of one or both of A622 and NBB1 may be used to decrease nicotine in tobacco plants.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tobacco plant comprising plant cells into which one or more mutations are introduced into the region of SEQ ID NO: 3 that encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4, wherein the plant exhibits reduced expression of a gene product encoded by SEQ ID NO: 3 as compared to a control tobacco plant. 2. The tobacco plant of claim 1 , wherein the tobacco plant exhibits a reduced nicotine level as compared to a control tobacco plant. 3. Seeds from or a progeny plant of the tobacco plant of claim 1 , wherein the seeds or progeny plant comprise in their genomes the one or more mutations. 4. A product comprising the plant of claim 2 , and having a reduced level of nicotine as compared to a product produced from a control plant, wherein the product is selected from the group consisting of a tobacco product, food product, food ingredient, feed product, feed ingredient, nutritional supplement, and biofuel. 5. The tobacco product of claim 4 , wherein the product is selected from the group consisting of smoking cessation products, cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, cigars, cigar tobacco, snus, pipe tobacco, and chewing tobacco.
