摘要:
The chemical compounds that induce expression of nodulation genes of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains have been identified. The isoflavones daidzein and genistein were identified as soybean exudate components that induce nod-genes. Other isoflavones, including 7-hydroxyisoflavone, 5,7-dihydroxyisoflavone, biochanin A, formononetin and prunetin, were also found to act as inducers. In addition, several flavonoid compounds including 4',7-dihydroxyflavone, apigenin, kaempferol and coumestrol, were also found to act as inducers. Nodulation inducing compositions and a method for selectively activating the expression of a gene under the control of a soybean exudate inducible promoter in B. japonicum in response to these inducer molecules are described. In addition, soybean inoculating compositions containing the nod-gene inducers and inoculating methods employing these compositions are described.

摘要:
Nodulation regulatory genes (nodD genes) of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains have been isolated and sequenced. Recombinant DNA molecules and vectors containing these regulatory genes are described. These genes, molecules and vectors are useful in the genetic engineering of Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium strains. A method for selective expression of structural genes in response to the application of chemical factors which induce B. japonicum nod genes which employs these genes is described.
摘要:
The nifD promoter regions of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Bradyhizobium sp. (Parasponia) have been sequenced and found to be significantly homologous. Recombinant DNA molecules comprising foreign genes under the control of such promoters are provided. Rhizobial species containing such recombinant constructions, either in plasmids or integrated into the genome, are provided. These are especially useful for expressing desired foreign genes within root nodules.
摘要:
Modified 19kd and 22kd zeins containing lysine are provided. Lysine additions are made by modifying structural genes which encode 19kd and 22kd pre-zeins. Modified zeins produced from the modified structural gene templates are found to retain important properties of unmodified zeins, having similar molecular weights, having the ability to form protein bodies within the rough endoplasmic reticulum of a host cell and being soluble in alcohol.
摘要:
A recombinant DNA vector is provided as a universal transcription vector having a replication origin and selectable marker, a promoter and a transcription initiation site comprising a first transcribed nucleotide, wherein a restriction site is provided immediately adjacent to and upstream from the transcription initiation site so as to separate transcribed from untranscribed nucleotides. A second restriction site may also be positioned downstream from the said restriction site. Precise control of initiation and termination of transcription is attained by this invention. Such control is important in assuring the effectiveness of transcribed RNA viral vectors.A high fidelity in vitro RNA transcription method is also provided utilizing vectors constructed from the universal transcription vector, or other vectors producing transcripts having no more than one extra 5' base. This method is capable of producing functional RNA transcripts, preferably comprising infectious viral sequences.
摘要:
A method is provided for the production of organogenic tissue culture and regeneration of whole plants of Glycine species, preferably Glycine max, involving the use of an organogenic culture medium comprising high cytokinin, preferably at least about 10 .mu.M BAP, and also preferably comprising at least about 6 times normal concentration of MS micronutrients. The organogenic culture medium is useful for the production of plants embodying desirable characteristics induced by somaclonal variation.

The present invention discloses dicot cells containing monocot seed storage protein. Construction of genes encoding monocot seed storage proteins which are expressible in dicot cells and transformation of such genes into plant cells is also taught. Furthermore, methods and DNA molecules useful for producing plant cells containing monocot seed storage proteins are also disclosed. The invention is exemplified by combination of a 15 kD zein structural gene from Zea mays gene with a promoter and a polyadenylation site derived from a Phaseolus vulgaris phaseolin gene.
摘要:
DNA sequence of S-genes which encode S-proteins and control the self-incompatibility reaction in gametophytic self-incompatible plants have been identified. The DNA sequence encoding several S-proteins of N. alata and their attendant signal sequences are specifically provided. Regulatory sequences which direct expression of the S-genes in reproduction tissue of self-incompatible plants have also been identified. A method for the identification and isolation of cDNA and genomic DNA coding sequences of the S-genes is described.
摘要:
A symbiosis plasmid from a fast-growing Rhizobium japonicum donor strain can be transferred to Rhizobium recipient strains, the recipient strains being previously incapable of forming an effective symbiotic relationship with plants of certain Glycine (e.g. soybean) varieties. The recipient strains harboring the symbiosis plasmid will form effective symbioses with soybean plants of said certain varieties, the transferred symbiosis plasmid conferring the host range or specificity of the donor strain on the recipient strains. Methods, strains, and plasmids useful for practice of this invention are also provided.
摘要:
A promoter region that drives expression of a 1450 base T.sub.R transcript in octopine-type crown gall tumors can also promote expression of a foreign structural gene in bacteria. Use of this dul-purpose promoter region to drive expression of a single copy of a foreign structural gene in both plants and bacteria is taught. The construction of a selectable marker functional in eukaryotes and prokaryotes is exemplified, as are vectors useful in efforts to transform plants.
