Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Plant metabolism and alkaloid levels can be regulated by transcription factors that regulate the nicotinic alkaloid biosynthetic pathway. In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a transcription factor that negatively regulates alkaloid biosynthesis, such as nicotine biosynthesis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for increasing a nicotinic alkaloid in a Nicotiana plant, comprising introducing into a Nicotiana plant a vector comprising at least 21 consecutive nucleotides of a nucleotide sequence, wherein the nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of: (a) the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4; and (b) a nucleotide sequence that is at least 90% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4; and wherein the 21 cons…
