Abstract:
A method of making a transgenic plant by transforming into a host plant a recombinant DNA construct that expresses in the transgenic plant a rice polypeptide and the transgenic plant thus produced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for conferring tolerance to salt stress and drought stress in a monocot plant including transforming the monocot plant with an expression cassette comprising at least one ABRC unit, a minimal promoter, and a DNA molecule that increases tolerance to salt stress and drought stress in plants, wherein the at least one ABRC unit, the minimal promoter, and a DNA molecule are operably linked together to permit expression of the DNA molecule. The present invention also relates to a transgenic monocot plant transformed with a DNA molecule that increases tolerance to salt stress and drought stress operably linked to at least one ABRC unit and a minimal promoter.
Abstract:
A novel beta-glucosidase and nucleic acids encoding the beta-glucosidase. Also disclosed are cells, compositions, and methods relating to using the beta-glucosidase to convert ligocellulosic material to fermentable sugars.
Abstract:
A novel thermophilic endo-glucanase, nucleic acid encoding the endo-glucase, and uses thereof in converting lignocellulosic material to fermentable sugars.
