| abstract |
The invention relates to a nucleic acid encoding a plant transporter of the inner mitochondrial membrane, in particular a member of the mitochondrial carrier family (MCF), and uses of this nucleic acid. The invention further relates to a fragment of the nucleic acid, a construct containing the nucleic acid or a fragment thereof and a host cell containing the nucleic acid, the fragment or the construct. The present invention further comprises a method for producing a transgenic plant using the nucleic acid, a fragment thereof or a construct comprising the nucleic acid or a fragment thereof, and a method for modulating the transport properties of the inner mitochondrial membrane of a plant, a plant part, a plant cell and / or from seeds. |
