  • Decreasing nitrite content in tobacco via expression of a nitrite reductase
    Patent number: 9657303
    Abstract: The present invention relates in one aspect to a method for producing a transgenic plant, comprising introducing into an unmodified plant an exogenous gene encoding a nitrite reductase, wherein expression of the nitrite reductase encoded by the exogenous gene reduces nitrite content in the transgenic plant relative to the unmodified plant. Also provided are transgenic plants and plant cells comprising an exogenous gene encoding a nitrite reductase, as well as associated uses, chimaeric genes and plant transformation vectors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2017
