摘要:
Novel polynucleotide sequences that encode insect toxins TcdA and TcbA have base compositions that differ substantially from the native genes, making them more similar to plant genes. The new sequences are suitable for use for high expression in both monocots and dicots. Transgenic plants with a genome comprising a nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO:4 are insect resistant.

摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding delta 9 desaturase gene, and expression vectors, plant cells, and transgenic plants expressing delta 9 desaturase nucleic acid. The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention can be used, for example, to decrease delta 9 desaturase activity in plant cells, resulting in decreased unsaturated fatty acid production.

摘要:
The present inventors have discovered that antisense suppression of a chlorophyll synthase (CS) gene results in plants exhibiting one or more of chlorosis, reduced growth, and altered development. Thus, the present inventors have discovered that the protein encoded by the CS gene is essential for normal plant growth and development, and is useful as a target for the identification of compounds as antibiotics and herbicides, especially herbicides. The present invention is directed to methods for identifying inhibitors of a CS enzyme by incubating a CS polypeptide with a chlorophyllide and a phopholipid substrate in the presence and absence of a test compound under conditions suitable for the CS enzyme activity, adding a solution to the incubation reactions comprising a water immiscible organic solvent, a water-soluble alcohol, and a water-soluble dye that absorbs in the range of one or both the excitation and emission wavelength ranges of the chlorophyllide substrate, and measuring the fluorescence of the incubation reactions at from about 650 to 750 nm, using from about 425 to 445 nm as excitation wavelength, wherein a decrease in the fluorescence in the presence of the test compound indicates that the compound is a CS inhibitor.
