Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention concerns a method for producing terpenes of interest in plants having glandular trichomes, as well as plants useful for producing said terpenes of interest. Said plants comprise a sequence encoding a heterologous terpene synthase under the control of a promoter enabling it to be specifically expressed in the trichomes. Moreover, the pathway for producing endogenous diterpenes is preferably blocked in the trichomes of the plants, to increase the flow in the heterologous pathway. The secretion of heterologous terpenes is spontaneous resulting in easy collection. The present invention also concerns plants exhibiting a blocked production of a compound having antibiotic properties at the surface of leaves exhibiting enhanced efficiency of transformation by a bacterium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A transgenic Solanaceae plant or a seed thereof comprising an expression cassette that comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding a heterologous terpene synthase operably linked to a trichome-specific promoter, the trichome-specific promoter comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 5, 6, 7 and 8, wherein a terpene of interest is synthesized. 2. The transgenic Solanaceae plant or seed according to cla…
