Abstract
A method for obtaining a plant having an enriched content of cysteine and/or glutathione, including steps which consist in: transforming at least a plant cell with a vector containing an expression cassette including a sequence coding for an adenosine 5′-phosphosulphate reductase (APR); culturing the transformed cell so as to generate a plant containing in its genome the expression cassette.
