摘要:
A novel protein was isolated from Fusarium culmorum and characterized. The protein, termed FCWP1, demonstrated significant antifungal activity against several fungal species. Mutations in proteolytic consensus sequences contained within FCWP1 improved the stability of its antifungal activity. In addition, a class of proteins related to FCWP1 was identified and characterized. This class is made up of ribosomal proteins and displayed similar values for pI and molecular weight. A representative number of proteins from this class were tested and found to have significant antifungal activities. The antifungal proteins disclosed herein are useful in controlling fungal infections in plants. Transgenic plants may be produced that are more resistant to fungal infections relative to non-transgenic plants of the same species. Alternatively, the proteins may be applied to plants exogenously.
摘要:
Antifungal polypeptides, isolated from Medicago plants, are shown to control fungal damage to plants. DNA encoding the polypeptides was cloned into vectors for transformation of plant-colonizing microorganisms or plants, thereby providing a method of inhibiting fungal growth on plants. The polypeptides can be formulated into compositions useful in controlling undesired fungi.

A high protein soybean meal is disclosed. The soybean meal is generated from soybeans that are capable of commercial yields, wherein the meal comprises at least 58% protein on a dry weight basis. The soybean meal of the present invention may also be generated from soybeans comprising a mean whole seed total protein plus oil content of greater than about 64%, on a dry weight basis, wherein the soybean has a yield, under standard agronomic conditions, of at least 30 bushels per acre. Also disclosed is an animal feed containing the soybean meal of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a soybean meal with high tryptophan content and its method of manufacture. The high tryptophan content soybean meal is to be used as an ingredient in animal feeding operations. Also provided are products from the further processing of the soybean meal.

The present invention discloses Arcelin promoters capable of transcribing a heterologous nucleic acid sequence at high levels in plants. The promoters are particularly suited for use in soybean plants and plant cells. Methods of modifying, producing, and using the promoters are also disclosed. The invention further discloses compositions, transformed host cells, transgenic plants, and seeds containing the high-expression Arcelin promoters, and methods for preparing and using the same.
摘要:
Transgenic plants and host cells comprising antifungal polypeptides, isolated from alfalfa plants, are shown to possess antifungal activity. DNA encoding the polypeptides was cloned into vectors for transformation of plant, therby providing a method of inhibiting fungal growth on plants.
摘要:
Isolated DNA molecules encoding an AlyAFP antifungal polypeptide from Alyssum are disclosed. The isolated DNA molecules comprise the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:12 or encode the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. Also disclosed are vectors and transgenic plants comprising said DNA molecules and a method for reducing fungal damage in a plant with said DNA molecule. The isolated DNA molecules may be used to prepare transgenic plants that exhibit reduced damage from fungi as compared to non-transgenic plants. The isolated DNA molecules may be used in combination with additional nucleic acid sequences encoding anti-fungal or anti-insect proteins or polypeptides.
