摘要:
Recombinant constructs useful for reducing the expression of endogenous mRNA and any substantially similar endogenous mRNA are disclosed. In particular, a recombinant construct comprising, inter alia, a suitable nucleic acid sequence and its reverse complement can be used to alter the expression of any homologous, endogenous RNA (i.e., the target RNA) which is in proximity to this suitable nucleic acid sequence.

The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for producing corn plants and grain having increased oil content, increased oleic acid content of the oil, and increased digestibility over commodity corn grain. The resulting grain finds use in agricultural and industrial applications.
摘要:
Compositions having polynucleotides encoding multiple translational stop signals in more than one reading frame are provided. The compositions include isolated polynucleotides, expression cassettes, and vectors, as well as host cells, prokaryotic organisms, and eukaryotic organisms comprising the polynucleotide(s). Methods include using the polynucleotides to stop translation of an mRNA into a protein, to produce a transformed cell and/or organism comprising the polynucleotide, and to identify transformed cells or organisms of a specific lineage.

A method is provided for increasing the level of free L-lysine in a plant comprising: (a) introducing a foreign gene into the cells of a plant tissue source; and (b) expressing said foreign gene in said cells, wherein a first DNA sequence of said gene encodes dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase (DHDPS) which is substantially resistant to feedback inhibition by endogenously-produced free L-lysine.
