Abstract:
A method for producing a transgenic plant includes providing a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least two regions of nucleic acid sequence that lack sequence homology with genomic DNA of the plant cell, and at least two zinc finger nuclease recognition sites, wherein the at least two regions of nucleic acid sequence that lack sequence homology with genomic DNA of the plant cell flank the at least two zinc finger nuclease recognition sites. A plant cell or tissue having the nucleic acid molecule stably integrated into the genome of the plant cell is transformed. A plant is regenerated from the plant cell. Transgenic plants are produced by the method. Seeds are produced by the transgenic plants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties compared to a reference plant. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods and is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided are organelle targeting nanocarriers, including peptides, which act to deliver biological molecules such as nucleic acids to non-nuclear organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Also provided are methods for genetic transformation of non-nuclear organelles using such nanocarriers.
Abstract:
Methods and means are provided to modify in a targeted manner the genome of a plant in close proximity to an existing elite event using a double stranded DNA break inducing enzyme. Also provided are plants, in particular cotton plants showing tolerance to a field dose of at least 1× of at least one HPPD inhibitor, and methods for making such plants.
Abstract:
Methods for identification of successful transformation without a need for in vitro selection are provided. Direct detection of nucleotide sequences of interest is described which eliminate the need for use of ancillary nucleotide sequences.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to excision of explant material comprising meristematic tissue from cotton seeds. Methods for tissue preparation, storage, transformation, and selection or identification of transformed plants are disclosed, as are transformable meristem tissues and plants produced by such methods, and apparati for tissue preparation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides: a method for producing stolon-forming plant having an improved tuber production ability as compared with a corresponding wild strain; and a stolon-forming plant produced by the method. The present invention also provides: a method for producing a stolon-forming plant having an improved stolon formation ability as compared with a corresponding wild strain; a stolon-forming plant produced by the method; and a kit for improving a stolon formation ability of a stolon-forming plant. The method of the present invention is a method for producing a stolon-forming plant having an improved tuber production ability as compared with a corresponding wild strain, the method including the step of introducing, into a stolon-forming plant, a Ran gene derived from Citrullus lanatus. The method of the present invention can further include the step of introducing, into a stolon-forming plant, a polynucleotide encoding fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase/sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase derived from a blue-green alga.
Abstract:
The invention provides seed and plants of tomato hybrid PX 02470002 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid PX 02470002 and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another tomato plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.
