20080235828 | PLANT PROTEINS HAVING AN ABSCISIC ACID BINDING SITE AND METHODS OF USE - Compositions and methods for modifying the sensitivity to abscisic acid, of seeds and vegetative tissues of plants. The compositions comprise novel nucleotide molecules configured for expressing an abscisic acid-binding protein, i.e., ABAP1, comprising an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 10. The methods comprise the steps of constructing a nucleotide molecule by fusing a nucleotide coding sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 9 with a regulatory nucleotide sequence selected for over-expression or for under-expression of the coding sequence, stably introducing the nucleotide molecule into the genome of a recipient cell from a seed-producing plant, culturing the recipient cell into a whole recipient plant and then further culturing the recipient plant to produce mature recipient seeds, and harvesting the recipient seeds. The recipient seeds and whole plants produced therefrom have modified sensitivities to ABA thereby enabling regulation of germination, physiological function and plant productivity. | 09-25-2008 |
20090307802 | EPSPS Mutants - The present invention relates to the production of a non-transgenic plant resistant or tolerant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, e.g., glyphosate. The present invention also relates to the use of a recombinagenic oligonucleobase to make a desired mutation in the chromosomal or episomal sequences of a plant in the gene encoding for 5-enol pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). The mutated protein, which substantially maintains the catalytic activity of the wild-type protein, allows for increased resistance or tolerance of the plant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, and allows for the substantially normal growth or development of the plant, its organs, tissues or cells as compared to the wild-type plant irrespective of the presence or absence of the herbicide. Additionally the present invention relates to mutant | 12-10-2009 |
20100071095 | Method for Generating Plant Diversity By Incorporation of Microsatellite Sequences Into the Plant Genome - The present invention provides a method for the generation of genetically diverse plants via the incorporation of micro-satellite (MS) sequences into the planar genome. The method involves obtaining MS-like DNA fragment, introducing said DNA into plant cells, and selecting said cells for the incorporation of the DNA. Finally, plants are grown from the selected cells. Said plants display phenotypic variability, and are more diverse than the parental plant. Using the method herein presented, novel plant varieties are generated. | 03-18-2010 |
20100281580 | USE OF A GENE ENCODING A HISTIDINE PROTEIN KINASE TO CREATE DROUGHT RESISTANT PLANTS - Plant expression vectors that include promoter sequences operably linked to heterologous ATHK1 polynucleotides, or complements thereof, encoding polypeptides at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:26, where the polynucleotides encode polypeptides that confers drought resistance in the plants. Also provided are transgenic plants with increased drought resistance, methods for creating such plants, overexpressors, and underexpressors of ATHK1. Methods for enhancing drought resistance in plants are also provided. | 11-04-2010 |
20100293671 | Composition and Method for Prolonging the Shelf Life of Banana by Using Interfering RNA - The invention relates to a composition and method for prolonging the shelf life of banana by using interfering RNA. Said method transfers a control cassette for | 11-18-2010 |
20110162111 | METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING SOMATIC EMBRYOS - Methods of transforming a plant cell with a nucleic acid of interest and regenerating plants therefrom are disclosed. The methods are particularly useful for the transformation of dicot or monocot mature somatic embryos. | 06-30-2011 |
20110162112 | INCREASING TIME-EFFICIENCY OF HIGH-THROUGHPUT TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES - The methods provided relate to efficient methods for transforming isolated, immature maize embryos and for producing transgenic maize plantlets. The time required for the production of the transgenic plantlets and subsequent plants is significantly decreased compared to conventional methods. The methods also relate to decreasing the selection time of transgenic events and regenerating a transgenic maize plantlet from transgenic somatic embryos from the events in a plant cell culture vessel that allows for root formation and plantlet elongation in the same plant cell culture vessel. | 06-30-2011 |
20140020135 | Novel Use of a Dense and Erect Panicle 1 Gene in Improving Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency - The present invention provides methods of increasing nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) in a transgenic plant comprising the introduction of a nucleic acid encoding a dep1 polypeptide into a plant to produce a transgenic plant that expresses the nucleic acid to produce the dep1 polypeptide, thereby resulting in an increased NUE as compared with a control plant. Also provided are methods of increasing NUE in a plant comprising reducing the amount and/or activity of a DEP1 polypeptide. | 01-16-2014 |

20150315601 | METHODS OF SITE-DIRECTED TRANSFORMATION - Methods of integrating exogenous DNA into the genome of a eucaryotic organism comprising at least one recombination site are effected by contacting the genome with a DNA molecule comprising selected DNA and at least one site-specific recombination site which is compatible with a site-specific recombination site in the genome. DNA insertion is catalyzed by the presence of a recombinase effective for the compatible recombination sites. Selected DNA can be integrated into a genome without removal of DNA from said organism. The methods are useful for site-specific insertion of selected DNA into plants to provide fertile transgenic plants and progeny seed. | 11-05-2015 |
