| abstract |
The present invention relates to various polypeptides involved in phytate metabolism in plants and to polynucleotides encoding them. The invention also relates to vectors containing polynucleotides, expression cassettes and host cells, and transgenic plants, their seeds, and methods for the preparation of the foregoing, as well as antibodies and inhibitors to their activity against polypeptides. The present invention is suitable for the reduction of phytate levels in food or feed and / or the reduction of phosphorus content in non-phytate form, e.g. animal performance. HE |
