COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INCREASING THE AMINO ACID AND PROTEIN CONTENT IN STORAGE ORGANS OF PLANTS

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present invention provides methods and compositions for increasing amino acids content and proteins in plant storage organs. In particular, the present invention relates to transgenic Solarium tuberosum plants overexpressing amino acid permease (AAP) and/or lysin histidine transporter (LHT), the plants store high amount of essential amino acids and capable of producing high amount of heterologous proteins in the tubers.
