摘要:
This invention provides a method for the extraction and detection of a peptide from transgenic plant tissues wherein a non-immunogenic solubility-promoting compound is used to release the enzyme into the solution fraction during the purification process. In some embodiments, this invention provides a method for the extraction and detection of the enzyme Amy797E, which is a heterologous thermo-tolerant α-amylase, from the tissues of corn event 3272 using a non-immunogenic amylase during the purification process. This invention allows for a limit of detection of 1:1000 of Amy797E in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Novel isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides associated with the lignin biosynthetic pathway are provided, together with genetic constructs including such sequences. Methods for the modulation of lignin content, lignin structure and lignin composition in target organisms are also disclosed, the methods comprising incorporating one or more of the polynucleotides of the present invention into the genome of a target organism.
摘要:
A novel transgenic corn event designated 3272, is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome that resulted in the 3272 event and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion sites as well as to assays for detecting the presence of the 3272 event based on these novel sequences. The invention further relates to seeds of corn plants comprising the 3272 genotype, to corn plants comprising the genotype of 3272 and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the 3272 genotype with itself or another corn variety.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for increasing the amount of enzymes in a grain by germinating the grain in conditions in which the grain is wounded. The invention also relates to hydrolases obtainable from grains for use in food processing and manufacturing industries, to the germination of grains such as barley and to isolation of enzymes from grains.
摘要:
The invention provides polynucleotides, preferably synthetic polynucleotides, which encode processing enzymes that are optimized for expression in plants. The polynucleotides encode mesophilic, thermophilic, or hyperthermophilic processing enzymes, which are activated under suitable activating conditions to act upon the desired substrate. Also provided are “self-processing” transgenic plants, and plant parts, e.g., grain, which express one or more of these enzymes and have an altered composition that facilitates plant and grain processing. Methods for making and using these plants, e.g., to produce food products having improved taste and to produce fermentable substrates for the production of ethanol and fermented beverages are also provided.

摘要:
SHE, a Starch Hydrolytic Enzyme active in maize endosperm (Zea mays), and the cDNA sequence encoding SHE are disclosed. The specificity of native, purified SHE is similar, in general terms, to previously known alpha-amylases. However, the activity of SHE toward amylopectin results in hydrolysis products that are distinctly different from those of other alpha-amylases. SHE, and its homologous equivalents in other plants such as rice, Arabidopsis, apple and potato, can be used in starch processing for generating different, e.g., larger sized, alpha-limit dextrins for industrial use, as compared to those generated by previously known alpha-amylases or other starch hydrolytic enzymes. In addition, modification of the expression of this enzyme in transgenic maize plants or in other transgenic organisms (including bacteria, yeast, and other plant species) can be useful for the generation of novel starch forms or altered starch metabolism.
摘要:
Nucleic acid molecules encoding starch degrading enzymes are provided. Moreover, vectors, host cells and plant cells transformed by the herein-described nucleic acid molecules and plants containing them are provided. Furthermore, methods are described for preparing transgenic plants which show increased or reduced starch degradation.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a gene product by expressing a gene encoding said gene product in angiosperm host cells, which method comprises: a) constructing a vector expressible in angiosperm host cells, said vector comprising a promoter region derived from an amylase gene selected from SBAmyA, SBAmyB, SBAmyC genes or SBAmyD of the sugar beet and a gene encoding a desired gene product; b) transforming a compatible angiosperm host cell with said vector; c) cultivating the resulting transformant host cell to a sugar-depleted or sugar-free condition to promote the expression of said gene under the control of such promoter region; and d) recovering the product of the expressed gene. The sugar beet gene when incorporated into a dicot seed or plant has improved biological properties. The gene sequences and the products thereof are claimed.
