Abstract
The present invention relates to plant cells and plants which synthesize hyaluronan and to methods for preparing such plants, and also to methods for preparing hyaluronan with the aid of these plant cells or plants. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of plants for preparing hyaluronan and to food or feed which comprises hyaluronan.
Claims26
A plant cell comprising a nucleic acid molecule which is stably integrated into its genome and codes for a hyaluronan synthase, wherein said plant cell produces hyaluronan.
A method for preparing a plant which synthesizes hyaluronan, comprising
- a) integrating a nucleic acid molecule coding for a hyaluronan synthase into the genome of a plant cell;
- b) regenerating a plant from plant cells of step a);
- and
- c) optionally, generating further plants with the aid of the plants of step b).
A recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence which initiates transcription in a plant cell and a nucleic acid molecule which codes for a hyaluronan synthase.
