Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods allowing the targeted insertion of transgenes into a plant genome at desired loci by using homologous recombination combined with rare-cutting endonucleases without the need of inserting an exogenous selectable marker.
Abstract:
Materials and methods are provided for making plants with altered levels of amino acids, particularly by making controlled frameshift mutations in genes that are highly expressed in plant leaves or plant seeds.
Abstract:
Materials and methods for creating plants (e.g., alfalfa lines) with reduced lignin content and composition are provided herein, as are plants, plant parts, and plant cells generated by the methods provided herein.

Abstract:
Materials and methods are provided for making plants (e.g., soybean varieties, wheat varieties, or corn varieties) with altered amino acid content. For example, materials and methods are provided for making TALE nuclease-induced mutations in genes encoding seed storage proteins, or by making TALE nuclease-induced deletions of within seed storage protein genes.
Abstract:
Materials and methods are provided for making plants (e.g., Solanum varieties) with resistance to black-spot bruising, specifically, by making TALE-nuclease-induced mutations in genes encoding tuber specific expressed polyphenol oxidase.
Abstract:
Materials and methods for genome engineering through transient expression of a targeted nuclease are described herein. For example, the methods described herein can include introducing into a cell a messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes a nuclease targeted to a selected sequence within the cell, where the stability of the mRNA is modified by the addition of untranslated regions (UTRs).

Abstract:
Methods for genome engineering, including methods utilizing transient expression of a nuclease utilizing modified transfer-DNA (T-DNA) plasmids, are provided herein.
