Abstract
There are described DNA sequences, that contain the coding region of an oligosaccharide transporter, whose introduction in a plant genome modifies the formation and transfer of storage materials in transgenic plants, plasmids, bacteria and plants containing these DNA sequences, a process for the preparation and transformation of yeast strains, that makes possible the identification of the DNA sequences of the plant oligosaccharide transporter of the invention, as well as the use of DNA sequences of the invention.
Claims16
An isolated DNA sequence comprising the coding region of an oligosaccharide transporter gene derived from a potato or spinach plant.
A recombinant expression vector comprising a DNA sequence encoding an oligosaccharide transporter derived from a potato or spinach plant and a promoter sequence, wherein the promoter is capable of expressing the oligosaccharide transporter gene in a transformed plant cell or transgenic plant.
A method of over-expressing an oligosaccharide transporter gene, comprising the step of transforming a plant or a plant cell with plasmid pBin-AR-S21 prepared from plasmid pSK-S21.
