The invention provides isolated polynucleotide molecules encoding mutant and wild-type alleles of the maize D9 gene. The invention further provides methods for modifying the growth of plants by decreasing or increasing plant height, altering stem and/or root growth, and involving the use of these isolated polynucleotide molecules, isolated polypeptides, and transformed plants, seeds, and cells.
摘要:
The invention relates to the regulation of gene expression, particularly to methods and compositions for regulating gene expression in plants. Expression cassettes comprising a polynucleotide molecule of interest operably linked to the Brachytic2 (Br2) promoter, or a functional fragment or variant thereof, are provided. Methods of using such expression cassettes, as well as plant cells, plant tissues, plants, and seeds transformed with these expression cassettes, are additionally provided. The methods and compositions find use in regulating the expression of a polynucleotide molecule of interest in a plant.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for manipulation of plant polysaccharides and plant polysaccharide synthases. Compositions include novel nucleotide sequences encoding polysaccharide synthases polypeptides, and biologically active variants thereof. Further provided are methods for polysaccharide manipulation using the sequences disclosed herein. One method comprises stably incorporating into the genome of a plant cell, a nucleotide sequence of the present invention operably linked to a heterologous promoter and regenerating a stably transformed plant that expresses the nucleotide sequence. Methods for enhancing digestibility of plants, improving gum extractability from plants, and altering plant growth are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides a composition and method for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. The composition is a novel nucleic acid sequence for a promoter. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the promoter sequence is also provided. The method comprises transforming a plant cell to contain a heterologous nucleotide sequence operably linked to the promoter of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant from the transformed plant cell.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for producing stably transformed dicotyledonous plants, via the introduction of a foreign DNA, containing an expression vector carrying a gene of interest, into dicotyledonous cells via one or more microparticle bombardments to produce transformed dicotyledonous cells; followed by the regeneration of a stably transformed fertile dicotyledonous plant from the transformed dicotyledonous cells.
摘要:
The invention discloses a transgenic method for producing parthenocarpic fruits or fruits with reduced seed number. It involves the temporal expression of a plant hormone or precursor or other such gene so that gibberellin or other similar hormonal activity involved in initiating fruit set activity is potentiated. The gene is operably linked to a regulatory promoter so that expression is timed prior to pollen development or fertilization. Expression of the hormone causes fruit development in the absence of fertilization. The method also results in a fruit that has diminished or very little seed. The invention also includes transgenic constructs, vectors, and methods for production of the parthenocarpic plants.
