Objectif The overall objectives of this grain legume project are :- to analyze the capacity of selected legume seeds (pea and fababean) to accumulate storage products (sink-source relationship);- to analyze the relationship between carbohydrate and storage protein/nitrogen metabolism at the level of gene expression;- to isolate and evaluate promoters for temporally and spatially regulated gene expression in seeds and;- to use these promoters, in combination with existing and new gene sequences, to specifically change sink capacity and/or storage product composition in legume seeds, as a pre-requisite for quality improvement and engineering into seeds of exogenous high-added-value components.The project therefore seeks to increase the understanding of the relationship between carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism in the seeds of the temperate European grain legumes pea and fababean, the long-term objective being the improvement via directed manipulation, of legume seed composition for agriculture, including food and non-food uses.
