    摘要: The present invention provides transgenic zoysiagrass plant cells transformed with a modified oat phytochrome A gene (S598A) in which the serine-598 codon was replaced with an alanine codon, which, when expressed, significantly suppresses shade avoidance reactions, such as dwarfish internodes and petioles, short leaves, increased branching, and dark-green leaf color. Said transgenic zoysiagrass shows a robust appearance and is expected to show enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Also provided are a recombinant DNA construct comprising the S598A gene which, when expressed, induces drastic suppression of shade avoidance reactions, transgenic plants produced by this method, and propagating seeds obtained from said transgenic plants.

    摘要: The present invention provides an efficient genetic transformation system for the zoysiagrass plant (Zoysia japonica Steud.). Also provided are optimized media compositions and culture conditions for the zoysiagrass transformation. The reliable transformation system for zoysiagrass was developed by optimizing several factors that significantly affect calli growth and plant regeneration. Callus type and co-cultivation period absolutely influenced the transformation efficiency. Concentrations of 2,4-D, CaCl2 and acetosyringone were also critical factors. The best result was achieved when type 3 calli were co-cultivated on a 2,4-D-free co-cultivation medium for 6 days. Removal of calcium and addition of 50 mg/liter acetosyringone during co-cultivation drastically enhanced the efficiency. The invention also provides a bialaphos-resistant zoysiagrass plant, which can be used in golf courses and athletic fields to save the maintenance cost.

    摘要: Fully differentiated higher plants may be regenerated from undifferentiated plant tissues, such as callus, derived from mature seeds, immature embryos, stems, roots, or leaves. The present invention provides a plant regeneration method from mature seed-derived calli. The regeneration procedure may include the induction of calli on the MS media containing 2 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.2 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine, 4 mg/L thiamine-HCl, and 100 mg/L &agr;-ketoglutaric acid. The plant regeneration efficiency is the highest when calli are grown on the MS media supplemented with 3% maltose and 1 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine or 1 mg/L thidiazuron (TDZ). The invention can be utilized to introduce a gene or genes of agronomically important values into the zoysiagrass or possibly closely related turfgrass species.

    摘要: The present invention includes modified phytochrome A (PHYA) nucleic acid molecules in which Pr absorption spectra have been shifted to longer wavelength (i.e. bathochromism or red-shift). The plants with the bathochromic phytochromes are expected to respond to canopy and shade conditions for growth and development with greater efficiency than the plants with wild-type phytochrome (i.e. suppression of shade avoidance reactions in plants). Since the shade avoidance reactions in plants induce a rapid and dramatic increase in the extension growth of stems and petioles at the expense of leaf growth, storage organ production, and reproductive development, it causes significant losses of crop yields. Thus, the bathochromic phytochromes that utilize the shade light efficiently would suppress the shade avoidance reactions in plants, giving plants the tolerance to shade. In this invention, several bathochromic phytochromes were generated by site-directed mutagenesis in the region of bilin lyase domain in plant PHYA, and their ability to suppress the shade avoidance reactions were examined by transforming the bathochromic phytochromes into PHYA deficient Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype col-0). The transgenic plants with the bathochromic phytochromes showed significantly increased shade tolerance compared to wild-type plants and transgenic plants with wild-type phytochromes. Therefore, the present invention can be utilized to suppress plants' shade avoidance that is one of major causes to induce crop-yield losses, and ultimately to generate shade tolerant plants with higher yields. The invention also includes plants having at least one cell expressing the modified PHYA, vectors comprising at least one portion of the modified PHYA nucleic acids, and methods using such vectors for producing plants with shade tolerance.

    摘要: This invention is about the functionally hyperactive light signal related molecule, HFR1-ΔN105, of which the nucleic acids that encode N-terminal 105 amino acid residues were deleted. HFR1 as a bHLH transcription factor functions in a subset of phytochrome A signaling cascade and it was reported to be regulated negatively by COP1. Experiments with a HFR1-ΔN105 overexpressing plant revealed that the deletion of N-terminal amino acids makes the HFR1 more active in photomorphogenic development such as germination and de-etiolation. In addition, the transgenic plants showed hypersensitive photo-responses in the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, dependently on another positive element of light signaling, a bZIP protein, HY5. The end-of-day far-red light response and petiole elongation were suppressed in the HFR1-ΔN105 overexpressing plants. These results suggest that N-terminal region of HFR1 negatively regulate HFR1 function and that HFR1-ΔN105 is hyperactive.

    摘要: The present invention includes modified Arabidopsis Nucleoside Di-Phosphate Kinase 2 (NDPK2) nucleic acid molecules whose enzymatic activity have been increased (i.e. hyperactive). NDPKs are ubiquitous housekeeping enzymes that catalyze the transfer of γ-phosphoryl group from a nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) to a nucleoside diphosphate (NDP), and also multifunctional proteins that regulate a variety of eukaryotic cellular activities, including cell proliferation, development, and differentiation. In plants, NDPKs are reported to play a key role in the signaling of both stress and light. Among three NDPKs (NDPK1, NDPK2, NDPK3) in a model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, NDPK2 was reported as a positive signal transducer of phytochrome-mediated plant light signaling and to regulate cellular redox state, which enhances multiple stress tolerance in transgenic plants. Thus, the plants with the hyperactive NDPK2 are expected to possess higher efficiency of light utilization and enhanced tolerance to various environmental stresses such as cold, salt, and oxidative stresses. Since abiotic stress is one of the most important factors to limit the productivity of many crops, the hyperactive NDPK2 can be used for the development of high-yielding multiple stress tolerant plants with higher efficiency of light utilization. In this invention, several hyperactive NDPK2 were generated by C-terminal deletion and site-directed mutagenesis. Therefore, the present invention can be utilized to develop multiple stress tolerant and efficiently light-utilizing plants, which can eventually increase crop yields. The invention also includes plants having at least one cell expressing the modified NDPK2, vectors comprising at least one portion of the modified NDPK2 nucleic acids, and methods using such vectors for producing plants with enhanced light sensitivity and stress tolerance.
