摘要:
The invention provides isolated nitrate uptake associated nucleic acids and their encoded proteins for modulating nitrogen uptake efficiency in plants. The invention includes methods and compositions relating to altering nitrogen utilization and/or uptake in plants. The invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, and transgenic plants.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods and compositions for modulating properties of fruit dehiscence in plants such Brassicaceae plants, specifically to improved methods and means for reducing seed shattering in Brassicaceae plants, particularly the Brassicaceae plants grown for oil production, to a degree which is agronomically important.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the development of drought-resistant plants. This invention is directed to the preparation of transgenic plants that express a protein involved in cytokinin synthesis under the control of a senescence-inducible promoter.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for modulating plant development are provided. Polynucleotide sequences encoding ZmSNAC polypeptides are provided, as are the amino acid sequences of the encoded polypeptides. The sequences can be used in a variety of methods including modulating root development, modulating floral development, modulating leaf and/or shoot development, modulating senescence, modulating seed size and/or weight, and modulating tolerance of plants to abiotic stress. Transformed plants, plant cells, tissues, and seed are also provided. A stress-inducible ZmSNAC1 promoter is also provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a nitrogen-regulated RING-like ubiquitin E3 ligase gene required for sugar sensing and the modulation of the expression of this gene to modulate a characteristic in a plant. The RING-like ubiquitin E3 ligase of the present invention is involved in mediating nitrogen limitation adaptive responses in plants and its expression is influenced by nitrogen status. Increased expression of this or substantially similar genes can produce plants with improved nitrogen utilization and increased yield.
摘要:
The enzymes of the ACC synthase family are used in producing ethylene. Nucleotide and polypeptide sequences of ACC synthases are provided along with knockout plant cells having inhibition in expression and/or activity in an ACC synthase and knockout plants displaying a staygreen phenotype, a male sterility phenotype, or an inhibition in ethylene production. Methods for modulating staygreen potential in plants, methods for modulating sterility in plants, and methods for inhibiting ethylene production in plants are also provided.
摘要:
Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby are described, together with the use of those products for making transgenic plants that are characterized by producing seeds that are not viable, not fertile, are not capable of germinating, or are otherwise not capable of regenerating into mature plants.
