FIELD: plant gene engineering and food processing industry.
SUBSTANCE: glutamate-glyoxilate-aminotransferase activity is inhibited in plant by disruption of gene functionality encoding thereof. Due to inhibition of said enzyme activity glutamate levels in modified plant is higher in contrast to corresponding wild-type plants cultivated under the same conditions, including seeds thereof. Seeds and other plant parts are useful in foodstuff productions.
EFFECT: new method for elevation of glutamate content in plants.
