Abstract: The invention provides genetically engineered, preselected DNA sequences and methods of using them to alter the nutritional content of plant seed. Methods of the invention are directed to increasing the weight percent of at least one amino acid essential to the diet of animals, or increasing the starch content, of a plant. One such method involves stably transforming a cell of a plant with an a preselected DNA sequence encoding an RNA molecule substantially identical or complementary to a messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding a plant seed storage protein, preferably a seed storage protein which is deficient in at least one amino acid essential to the diet of animals. An alternative method employs stably transforming cells with at least two preselected DNA sequences, one of which encodes an RNA molecule substantially identical or complementary to a messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding a plant seed storage protein, and the other preselected DNA molecule which encodes a preselected polypeptide.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the identification of transgenic seeds. This is accomplished by use of screenable markers linked to aleurone-specific promoters. The screenable markers can be provided as gene fusions with selectable markers, allowing both selection and screening of transformants. The use of aleurone-specific promoters, which also direct expression in embryogenic tissues, allows efficient selection of transgenic cells and the screening of viable transgenic seeds, while avoiding the deleterious effects associated with constitutive expression of screenable marker genes. Screening of transgenic seeds avoids the need for growing and assaying of seeds for transgenes and allows implementation of automated seed screening techniques for the identification of transgenic seeds.
