摘要:
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an oxidosqualene cyclase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the isolated polynucleotides of the invention, in sense or antisense orientation, operably linked to a suitable regulatory sequence.
摘要:
This invention is in the field of plant molecular biology. More specifically, this invention pertains to compositions having increased levels of at least one phytosterol, said compositions being obtained from plants or plant parts, and methods thereof. The plants may have decreased levels of triterpene saponins. The plants or plant parts may comprise at least one recombinant DNA molecule comprising a promoter operably linked to at least a portion of at least one polynucleotide from at least one oxidosqualene cyclase gene, said recombinant DNA molecule sufficient to increase the production of at least one phytosterol; or any progeny of said plant, wherein said progeny comprise said recombinant DNA molecule. Compositions, oils, as well as food and feed products obtained from or prepared with said compositions are also part of the invention.
摘要:
Compositions and methods relating to the use of sulfonylurea-responsive repressors are provided. Compositions include polypeptides that specifically bind to an operator, wherein the specific binding is regulated by a sulfonylurea compound. Compositions also include polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides as well as constructs, vectors, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and eukaryotic organisms including plants and seeds comprising the polynucleotide, and/or produced by the methods. Also provided are methods to provide a sulfonylurea-responsive repressor to a cell or organism, and to regulate expression of a polynucleotide of interest in a cell or organism, including a plant or plant cell.

摘要:
Recombinant constructs useful for reducing the expression of at least one target nucleic acid fragment of interest and any substantially similar endogenous nucleic acid fragment of interest are disclosed. In particular, a recombinant construct comprising at least one nucleic acid of interest is inserted between two convergent promoters. A plant or plant organ stably transformed with this construct will have a reduction in expression of the target nucleic acid fragments of interest.
摘要:
This invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide encoding an aldehyde reductase enzyme. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant construct encoding an aldehyde reductase enzyme wherein expression of the recombinant construct results in production of altered levels of aldehyde reductase enzyme in a transformed host cell. The present invention also concerns soybean products made from seeds obtained from soybean plants transformed with this recombinant construct wherein such seeds having increased aldehyde reductase activity.
