摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the reduction of chlorophyll content in oil plant seeds, especially rape-seeds, based on the expression of chlorophyll synthesis antisense genes. The invention also relates to oil plant seeds which have a reduced chlorophyll content in relation to wild species of seeds. The invention further relates to the use of said seeds to obtain vegetable oil.

The invention relates to materials and methods which may be used in the detection and manipulation of Pre-Harvest Sprouting (PHS) and other dormancy-related phenotypes in plants. Specifically disclosed are oat and wheat VP1 homologues (afVP1 and taVP1 respectively) plus also variants, particularly alleles of these. The sequence and mapping data provided can be used in plant breeding and/or in molecular-biology based methods to improve e.g. wheat varieties. Also disclosed are primers which are specific for orthologues, alleles or wheat-genomes plus methods of using these. Vectors, cells and transgenic plants are also provided, as are related products and methods of use.
摘要:
A fusion capsid protein comprising a plant virus capsid protein fused to an antigenic polypeptide is used as a molecule for presentation of that polypeptide to the immune system of an animal such as a human. The plant virus capsid protein is that of an alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV) or ilarvirus.

摘要:
Methods for identifying organisms capable of degrading fumonisin. Fumonisin can be incorporated into culture medium for selection of organisms resistant to fumonisin and/or capable of growing on fumonisin as a sole carbon source. Using this method, several organisms have been identified. These organisms can be used to isolate the enzymes and the genes responsible for conferring fumonisin-resistance. The gene can be cloned and inserted into a suitable expression vector so that the protein can be further characterized. Additionally, the DNA encoding for fumonisin degrading enzymes can be used to transform plant cells normally susceptible to Fusarium or other toxin-producing fungus infections. Plants can be regenerated from the transformed plant cells. In this way, a transgenic plant can be produced with the capability of degrading fumonisin, as well as with the capability of producing the degrading enzymes. Methods for detoxification in grain, grain processing, silage, food crops and in animal feed and rumen microbes are also disclosed.

Transgenic plants which express cellulose-degrading enzymes, methods to make the transgenic plants, and methods to use the cellulose-degrading enzymes produced by the transgenic plants are disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the genetic transformation using multiple genetic sequences, wherein one of said genetic sequences encodes a polypeptide possessing excision activity, specifically a site-specific recombinase activity linked to a transgene unit and the use of this genetic construct in the removal of transgenes therefrom. The present invention provides the means to produce genetically-transformed organisms, in particular plants, in which selectable marker genes have been removed, thereby facilitating multiple sequential genetic transformation events using the same selectable marker gene. Accordingly, the invention provides the means for regulating transgene expression in genetically-manipulated organisms, for example to promote differentiation, de-differentiation, or any unidirectional developmental shift of a target cell which requires the time-specific expression of a particular gene. The invention is particularly suited to the promotion of specific organogeneses in plants using organogenesis-promoting transgenes, wherein the organs which subsequently develop in said plants are genetically transformed with a desired gene but lack organogenesis-promoting transgenes.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel method to enhance an ability to suppress in vivo protein synthesis in a method of suppressing synthesis by use of an antisense nucleotide sequence. More specifically, the present invention provides an antisense nucleotide sequence comprising two or more successive repeats of the structural gene of interest or a fragment thereof in the antisense direction, an expression vector comprising said antisense nucleotide sequence, a host transformed by said expression vector and a method for suppressing the expression of a protein by use of said antisense nucleotide sequence.
