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 reduced nicotinic alkaloid tobacco plant comprising a polynucleotide sequence in sense orientation or antisense orientation that suppresses expression of NBB1 in the plant or an siRNA molecule comprising a polynucleotide sequence that suppresses expression of NBB1 in the plant, wherein the polynucleotide sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 3 or a fragment thereof, and wherein NBB1 is suppressed in the plant. 2. A product produced from the toba…
