Abstract
The invention relates to producing resveratrol glucoside in edible legume plants by transforming with a transgene encoding resveratrol synthase operably linked to a constitutive promoter. The invention relates to products containing and methods of using transformed edible legume plants and edible material of the transformed legume plants as a foodstuff, a nutritional supplement, an animal feed supplement or a nutraceutical. The invention further relates to a method of increasing disease resistance in an edible legume plant by transforming with a transgene encoding resveratrol synthase operably linked to a constitutive promoter.
