    摘要: The instant invention discloses utilization of a cDNA clone to construct sense and antisense genes for inhibition of starch branching enzyme enzymatic activity in corn. More specifically, this invention concerns a method of controlling the starch fine structure of starch derived from the grain of corn comprising: (1) preparing a chimeric gene comprising a nucleic acid fragment encoding a starch branching enzyme structural gene or a fragment thereof, operably linked in either sense or antisense orientation on the upstream side to a nucleic acid fragment encoding a promoter that directs gene expression in corn endosperm tissue, and operably linked on the downstream side to a nucleic acid fragment encoding a suitable regulatory sequence for transcriptional termination, and (2) transforming corn with said chimeric gene, wherein expression of said chimeric gene results in alteration of the fine structure of starch derived from the grain of said transformed corn compared to the fine structure of starch derived from corn not possessing said chimeric gene.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of screening for the purpose of obtaining gene expression modulating elements and gene insulator elements. The invention includes a method of identifying gene expression modulating elements and gene insulator elements through use of the following steps: a) locating intergenic regions of a plant genome that are flanked by a gene on each side that have differing gene expressions b) taking that intergenic region or a portion of that intergenic region and adding it to a cassette comprising an isolated gene c) introducing the cassette into a plant cell d) analyzing expression of the isolated gene. The present invention also includes identified sequences that act as gene expression modulating elements.

    摘要: The invention provides methods for producing a fertile, stably transformed, Zea mays plant. The methods comprise the steps of (a) providing a foreign DNA comprising an expression vector carrying a gene encoding an agronomic trait; (b) providing a maize embryogenic callus, suspension culture, or immature embryo isolated from a plant; (c) introducing the foreign DNA into the embryogenic callus, suspension culture or immature embryo isolated from a plant by one or more microparticle bombardments; and (d) regenerating fertile transgenic Zea mays plant.
