摘要:
The present invention relates to method for preparing a plant from a protoplast comprising knocking-out or knocking-in one or more the endogenous gene of the protoplast, and the plant regenerated from a genome-modified protoplast prepared by the above method.
摘要:
It is intended to identify a novel gene involved in the induction of pathogen resistance by brassinosteroid and to prepare a disease-resistant plant with enhanced disease resistance by introducing the gene into plant cells of interest. Pathogen-resistant brassinosteroid mutants are isolated, and four genes obtained on the basis of the analysis of causative genes of the mutants were introduced into plant cells of interest to prepare transgenic plants.
摘要:
The objective of the present invention is to isolate and identify genes responsive to plant hormones, such as, brassinolide, and to provide these genes and their use. The present inventors found two novel genes (referred to as OsBLE1 gene and OsBLE2 gene) whose expressions are markedly increased by brassinolide and auxin, using DNA microarray techniques and Northern blotting. Transformed rice plants were produced using Agrobacterium EHA101 which comprise antisense polynucleotide against OsBLE1 and OsBLE2 under the control of the CaMV35S promoter in a binary vector pIG121-Hm. As a result, the transformed rice plants exhibited inhibition in stem and leaf growth as compared with controls which carried the vector alone.
摘要:
The present invention provides nucleic acid sequences from ovule-specific genes. The nucleic acids are useful in targeting gene expression to ovules or in modulating ovule development.
摘要:
The invention provides the disclosure of a novel plant growth pathway involving several receptor like kinases. The pathway was shown to work largely independent of brassinosteroids and involves several members of the CrRLK1L family of receptor kinases. According to the invention, HERK1, HERK2, FER, THE1 and the brassinosteroid BES1 may be modulated to influence plant growth and elongation. The invention includes methods, and transformed plants, cells tissues and seeds with increased cellular elongation and other related yield traits.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for increasing seed yield in plants by increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Dwarf1 (DWF1) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a DWF1 polypeptide, which plants have increased seed yield relative to control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in performing the methods of the invention.
摘要:
This invention provides recombinant cells and transgenic plants that display selectively increased or decreased response to brassinosteroids, resulting in increased yield. Methods of modulating brassinosteroid responses, and of modulating plant phenotypes, are provided.
摘要:
A method for genetically modifying a turfgrass plant cell such that a plant, produced from said cell, is characterized as having modulated brassinolide activity as compared with a wild-type plant, said method comprising: introducing at least one exogenous BAS1 polynucleotide, homologue or functional fragment thereof, into a plant cell to obtain a transformed plant cell; and growing the transformed plant cell under conditions which permit expression of BAS1 gene product, homologue or functional fragment thereof, thereby producing a plant having modulated brassinolide activity, wherein the plant cell is a turf grass cell wherein said genetically modified plant further comprising a drought resistance, salt resistance, insect resistance and the like.
