[Transgenic plants: towards a more balanced nutrition?].
Over the past ten years, the knowledge of metabolic capabilities of plants have been considerably expanded. Combined with technical achievements in gene transfer, the understanding of metabolic regulation provide new means, which are more and more precise and targeted, for modifying plant products towards improving health and well being through diet. Yet, a great number of attempts to modify plant metabolism are still purely exploratory. However, some key applications are emerging as well for macronutrients that for micronutrients.
