摘要:
The present invention provides DNA constructs comprising exogenous polynucleotides encoding a threonine deaminase and/or AHAS. Transgenic plants transformed with the constructs, as well as seed and progeny dervied from these plants, are also provided. The transgenic plants have an increased level of one or more amino acids as compared to a non-transgenic plant of the same species.

The present invention provides transgenic plants transformed with an isolated DNA encoding a monomeric anthranilate synthase. The present invention also provides an isolated DNA encoding a monomeric anthranilate synthase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transformation vectors and transformed plants containing the isolated DNA and seeds derived therefrom, are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for altering the tryptophan content of a plant by introducing and expressing an isolated DNA segment encoding an anthranilate synthase in the cells of the plant. Transgenic plants transformed with an isolated DNA segment encoding an anthranilate synthase, as well as human or animal food, seeds and progeny derived from these plants, are also provided.

摘要:
An antifungal polypeptide, AlyAFP, that controls fungal damage to plants is provided. DNA encoding this polypeptide can be cloned into vectors for transformation of plant-colonizing microorganisms or plants, thereby providing a method of inhibiting fungal growth on plants. The polypeptide can be formulated into compositions that can be used to control undesired fungi on plants and elsewhere.

摘要:
A novel protein was isolated from Fusarium culmorum and characterized. The protein, termed FCWP1, demonstrated significant antifungal activity against several fungal species. Mutations in proteolytic consensus sequences contained within FCWP1 improved the stability of its antifungal activity. In addition, a class of proteins related to FCWP1 was identified and characterized. This class is made up of ribosomal proteins and displayed similar values for pI and molecular weight. A representative number of proteins from this class were tested and found to have significant antifungal activities. The antifungal proteins disclosed herein are useful in controlling fungal infections in plants. Transgenic plants may be produced that are more resistant to fungal infections relative to non-transgenic plants of the same species. Alternatively, the proteins may be applied to plants exogenously.
