Claims18
A modified tobacco plant, or part thereof, comprising a non-natural mutation in a nucleic acid molecule encoding an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 30, wherein said modified tobacco plant comprises a pale yellow phenotype, wherein said non-natural mutation results in a reduced level of expression of said nucleic acid molecule as compared to a wildtype tobacco plant, and wherein said non-natural mutation is not present in said wildtype tobacco plant.
Cured tobacco material from a modified tobacco plant, or part thereof, wherein the modified tobacco plant or part thereof comprises a non-natural mutation in a nucleic acid molecule encoding an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 30, wherein said modified tobacco plant comprises a pale yellow phenotype, wherein said non-natural mutation results in a reduced level of expression of said polynucleotide as compared to a wildtype tobacco plant, and wherein said non-natural mutation is absent in said wildtype tobacco plant.
