摘要:
This invention relates to putative known and unknown deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and amino acid sequences identified in one or more metabolic pathways that lead to dwarfism and stunting in plants and the use of these sequences in agriculture to create dwarf varieties of any plant species. This invention also relates to nucleic acids sequences and polypeptides that produce altered metabolism phenotypes in plants.
摘要:
The subject invention relates to high-throughput methods of screening DNA for mutations. These methods offer various unexpected advantages over current methods. In a preferred embodiment, the subject invention includes pooling DNA samples from many plants that were subjected to mutagenesis. Methods of the subject invention include highly sensitive means for detecting individual mutants, preferably deletions, in large pools or collections of DNA samples.
