摘要:
The present invention provides a method for accelerating and increasing the production of biomass, branches, flowers and fruits, and for modifying one or more plant morphological, biochemical and physiological properties or characteristics, such as one or more environmental adaptive responses and/or developmental processes of plants, by ectopically expressing therein a Cdc25 substrate or modified Cdc25 substrate, in particular a Cdc2 protein or a homologue, analogue or derivative thereof.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of modifying one or more morphological, biochemical and physiological properties or characteristics in a plant, said method comprising expressing a cyclin protein, in particular cyclin B, in the plant, operably under the control of a regulatable promoter sequence.
摘要:
Regulation of expression of senescence in plants is achieved by integration of a gene or gene fragment encoding senescence-induced lipase into the plant genome in antisense orientation. The carnation gene encoding senescence-induced lipase is identified and the nucleotide sequence is used to modify senescence in transgenic plants.

This invention relates to the control of pod dehiscence or shatter. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided nucleic acid, preferably recombinant or isolated nucleic acid sequence comprising the sequence as shown in figure 2 or a sequence substantially homologous thereto, or a fragment of the sequence as shown in figure 2. The fragment may comprise, in particular, the coding sequence as indicated in figure 2.
摘要:
The present invention provides a non-naturally occurring seed plant that is characterized by producing seeds of increased size due to ectopic expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL8-related gene product. The AGL8-related gene product can have, for example, substantially the amino acid sequence of an AGL8 ortholog such as Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID NO:2). The present invention further provides a non-naturally occurring seed plant that is characterized by producing fruit of increased size due to ectopic expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL8-family gene product. The AGL8-family gene product can have substantially the amino acid sequence of an AGL8 ortholog, for example, the amino acid sequence of Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID NO:2). Related methods and kits also are provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides a non-naturally occurring seed plant that is characterized by delayed seed dispersal due to ectopic expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL8-like gene product. Further provided herein is a non-naturally occurring seed plant, such as an agl1 agl5 double mutant, that is characterized by delayed seed dispersal due to suppression of AGL1 and AGL5 expression in the seed plant. The invention also provides a substantially purified dehiscence zone-selective regulatory element, which includes a nucleotide sequence that confers selective expression upon an operatively linked nucleic acid molecule in the valve margin or dehiscence zone of a seed plant. Also provided by the invention are kits for producing a transgenic seed plant characterized by delayed seed dispersal, such kits containing a dehiscence zone-selective regulatory element.
摘要:
A transgenic flowering plant exhibiting a novel phenotype contains in its genome a genetic construct in which an AGL15 sequence is placed under the control of a promoter that is expressed in the plant, the promoter not being natively associated with the AGL15 sequence. A genetic construct that is useful for obtaining transgenic plants includes an AGL15 sequence under the control of a promoter, not natively associated with the AGL15 sequence, which is functional in plants.
摘要:
The present invention provides sesame plants having a mutation conferring closed capsules at maturity and means and methods for producing same. The plants of the invention produce high yield of sesame seeds, said seeds having improved content of at least one of zinc, iron and calcium.
摘要:
A potato cultivar designated Y9 is disclosed. The invention relates to the tubers of potato cultivar Y9, to the seeds of potato cultivar Y9, to the plants of potato cultivar Y9, to the plant parts of potato cultivar Y9, to food products produced from potato cultivar Y9, and to methods for producing a potato plant produced by crossing potato cultivar Y9 with itself or with another potato variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a potato plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic potato plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to potato cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from potato variety Y9, to methods for producing other potato cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from potato cultivar Y9 and to the potato plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid potato tubers, seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing potato cultivar Y9 with another potato cultivar.
摘要:
The present specification teaches the generation of drought tolerant plants. The present disclosure enables manipulation of a phenotypic characteristic referred to herein as "stay-green" to generate drought tolerant plants by recombinant, mutagenic and/or breeding and selection methods. Plant management practice systems to increase crop yield and harvest efficiency in water-limited environments are also taught herein.
