摘要:
Oilseed plants which have been transformed to produce very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, recombinant constructs used in such transformations, methods for producing such fatty acids in a plant are described and uses of oils and seeds obtained from such transformed plants in a variety of food and feed applications are described.
摘要:
A seed specific plant annexin and P34 promoters and subfragments thereof and their use in promoting the expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments in plants are described.
摘要:
An isolated polynucleotide encoding a plant cysteine synthase is disclosed. Also disclosed is the construction of a recombinant construct comprising all or part of a coding or non-coding region of the isolated polynucleotide for use in co-suppression or antisense suppression of endogenous nculeic acid sequences encoding polypeptides having cysteine synthase activity. In another aspect, use of this construct to alter levels of cysteine synthase in a plant is disclosed.
摘要:
Methods for producing in a plant a complex transgenic trait locus comprising at least two altered target sequences in a genomic region of interest are disclosed. The methods involve the use of two or more double-strand-break-inducing agents, each of which can cause a double-strand break in a target sequence in the genomic region of interest which results in an alteration in the target sequence. Also disclosed are complex transgenic trait loci in plants. A complex transgenic trait locus comprises at least two altered target sequences that are genetically linked to a polynucleotide of interest. Plants, plant cells, plant parts, and seeds comprising one or more complex transgenic trait loci are also disclosed.
摘要:
The promoters of a soybean seed maturation protein PM29 and a soybean late-embryogenesis abundant protein LEA3 and fragments thereof and their use in promoting the expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments in plants are described.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for the targeted integration of a polynucleotide sequence of interest into the genome of a plant or plant cell. The methods and compositions employ recognition sites for endonucleases and endonucleases in combination with site-specific recombination sites/recombinases to provide an effective system for establishing target sites within the genome of a plant, plant cell or seed. Once such target sites are established, a variety of methods can be employed to further modify the target sites such that they contain a variety of polynucleotides of interest.
摘要:
A seed specific plant annexin and P34 promoters and subfragments thereof, recombinant expression construct comprising these promoters and their use in driving seed-specific expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments, such as heterologous nucleic acid fragments encoding reporter constructs or enzymes related to production of fatty acids in plants are described.
摘要:
The promoters of a soybean seed maturation protein PM29 and a soybean late-embryogenesis abundant protein LEA3 and fragments thereof and their use in promoting the expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments in plants are described.
摘要:
Oilseed plants which have been transformed to produce at least 8.0% arachidonic acid (ARA) as well as uses of oils and seeds obtained from such transformed plants in a variety of food and feed applications are described.
