    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for increasing digestibility and/or crude protein of a plant by modifying lignin biosynthesis of the plant. The methods involve the manipulation of the expression level of genes in the lignin biosynthesis pathway by directly reducing the expression of genes using miRNA or using regulation of transcription factors. Expression cassettes for achieving such gene expression manipulation and transgenic plant cells and plants comprising the constructs and cassettes are also provided. Transcription regulating nucleotide sequences for use in the expression cassettes have also been developed as well as methods of using these sequences and cassettes.

    摘要: The present invention is in the field of genetics, especially plant genetics, and provides agents capable of controlling gene expression. The present invention specifically provides sequences of naturally occurring, tissue-specifically expressed microRNAs. The invention further provides for transgenic expression constructs comprising sequences encoding said microRNAs. By incorporation of the microRNA encoding sequence the expression from said expression construct is specifically silenced in the tissue where the naturally occurring microRNA is naturally expressed. Thereby the expression profile resulting from the promoter is modulated and leakiness is reduced. The invention further provides for a method for modulating transgenic expression by incorporating sequences encoding said microRNAs into transgenic expression constructs. The compositions and methods of the invention can be used to enhance performance of agricultural relevant crops and for therapy, prophylaxis, research and diagnostics in diseases and disorders, which afflict mammalian species.

    摘要: The present invention is in the field of plant genetics and provides methods for increasing gene expression of a target gene in a plant or part thereof. In addition the invention relates to methods for modifying the specificity of plant specific promoters and for engineering small non-coding activating RNA (sncaRNA) in order to increase expression of a target gene in a plant or part thereof. The present invention also provides methods for the identification of sncaRNA, and its primary transcripts in a plant capable of increasing gene expression in a plant or part thereof.
