Abstract:
The present invention relates to genes and materials for improving plant health, preferably against phytopathogenic microorganisms, and/or against coumarin-induced adverse effects on plant health. Furthermore, the invention pertains to methods and uses of such genes and mate-rials for creating correspondingly beneficial plant cells, plant parts and whole plants, and also relates to products obtained from such plants or plant parts.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to methods of modifying the genome of an organism comprising contacting genome of the organism with a composition comprising a CRISPR-Cas nucleic acid and a polyalkyleneimine-alkoxylene polymer such as a polyethyleneimine (PEI)-polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymer. The present invention also relates to methods of using the compositions of the invention to kill cells.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with materials and methods for the production of genetically modified plants, particularly where the plants are for the production of at least one unsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acid. The invention is also concerned with identification of genes conveying an unsaturated fatty acid metabolic property to a plant or plant cell, and generally relates to the field of phosphotidylcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase (PDCT).
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants that are semi-dwarf and have one or more improved ear traits relative to a control plant, such as increase in ear area, increased single kernel weight, increased ear fresh weight, increased number of florets, and mitigated flowering delay. The modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants comprise a transgene encoding one or more CONSTANS (CO) or CONSTANS-like (COL) polypeptide and have a reduced expression of one or more GA20 or GA3 oxidase genes. Also provided are methods for producing the modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring inflorescence, seed and/or seed yield phenotype of a plant. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for high throughput analysis of inflorescence, seed and/or seed yield phenotype of a panicle-like bearing plant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns increasing the tocopherol content of a plant relative to a control plant, comprising expressing in a plant at least one polynucleotide encoding a delta-12-desaturase, at least one polynucleotide encoding a delta-6-desaturase, at least one polynucleotide encoding a delta-6-elongase, and at least one polynucleotide encoding a delta-5-desaturase. The present invention also relates to methods for the manufacture of oil, fatty acid- or lipids-containing compositions, and to such oils and lipids as such.
Abstract:
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 enhancing one or more yield- related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a POI (Protein Of Interest) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a POI polypeptide, which plants have one or more enhanced yield-related traits compared with control plants. The invention also provides constructs, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
Abstract:
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 enhancing one or more yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a FKBP16-3 (FK506-binding protein) or a quinone reductase-related (QRR) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a FKBP16-3 or a QRR polypeptide, which plants have one or more enhanced yield-related traits compared to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown FKBP16-3- encoding and QRR nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of increasing resistance against fungal pathogens of the order Pucciniales in plants and/or plant cells. This is achieved by increasing the expression of a MybTF protein or fragment thereof in a plant, plant part and / or plant cell in comparison to wild type plants, wild type plant parts and / or wild type plant cells. Furthermore, the invention relates to transgenic plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells having an increased resistance against fungal pathogens, in particular, pathogens of the order Pucciniales, and to recombinant expression vectors comprising a sequence that is identical or homologous to a sequence encoding a MybTF protein.
Abstract:
Plants having enhanced yield-related traits and a method for making the same 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 enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of an isolated nucleic acid encoding a Growth related protein(GRP). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of an isolated nucleic acid encoding a GRP, which plants have enhanced yield- related traits compared with control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown isolated GRP-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
