Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure relates to the field of secondary metabolite production in plants. More specifically, the disclosure relates to chimeric genes and their use in the regulation of biosynthesis and/or production of secondary metabolites in plants and plant-derived cell cultures.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A chimeric gene comprising the following operably-linked nucleic acid sequences: one or more control sequences able to drive expression of a nucleic acid sequence in a plant cell; and a nucleic acid sequence encoding a BHLH protein of subfamily IVa comprising a bHLH domain wherein the nucleic acid sequence is SEQ ID NO: 15. 2. A transgenic plant comprising: the chimeric gene of claim 1 . 3. A plant cell comprising: the chimeric gene of claim 1 . 4. A vector comprising the chimeric gene of claim 1 . 5. The chimeric gene of claim 1 , further comprising: a transcript termination nucleic acid sequence operably-linked thereto.
