摘要:
Methods and means are provided for the modification of the reactivity of plant secondary cell walls, particularly in cotton cell walls found in cotton fibers. This can be conveniently achieved by expressing a chimeric gene encoding a Saprolegnia monoica chitin synthase in cotton plants.

The invention provides for the use of isolated polynucleotides encoding maize poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) proteins to identify endogenous PARP encoding genes or cDNAs from a plant and to produce plant cells and plants with high vigor.
摘要:
Methods and means are provided for the modification of the reactivity of plant cell walls, particularly as they can be found in natural fibers of fiber producing plants by inclusion of positively charged oligosaccharides or polysaccharides into the cell wall. This can be conveniently achieved by expressing a chimeric gene encoding an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, particularly an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, capable of being targeted to the membranes of the Golgi apparatus in cells of a plant.
摘要:
Means and methods are provided to produce abiotic stress tolerant with improved yield based on the specific identification of a gene expression signature in said plants out of a population of said plants.

摘要:
The invention concerns a process for producing transgenic plant cells, which comprises: contacting a culture of plant cells with an inhibitor of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase, prior to transformation, for a period of time sufficient to reduce the response of the cultured cells to stress and to reduce their metabolism. The untransformed cells are then contacted with foreign DNA comprising at least one gene of interest under conditions in which the foreign DNA is taken up by the untransformed cells and the gene of interest is stably integrated in the nuclear genome of the untransformed cells to produce the transgenic cells. The transgenic plant cells are recovered from the culture. The invention further concerns a process for increasing the frequency of obtaining transgenic plant cells, via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, which comprises: contacting a culture of plant cells with an inhibitor or poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase prior to transformation for a period of approximately 1 to 2 days or culturing transgenic plant cells after transformation in a medium containing an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase for a period of time of approximately 1 to 14 days.
摘要:
Stress tolerance in plants and plant cells is achieved by using nucleotide sequences encoding enzymes involved in the NAD salvage synthesis pathway and/or the NAD de novo synthesis pathway from fungal or yeast like organisms other than Saccharomyces cereviseae, e.g., for overexpression in plants.
