  • Publication number: 20050076408
    Abstract: The current invention provides nucleic acid sequences encoding the RIN and MC genes. Compositions comprising these sequences are described, as are plants transformed with such compositions. Further provided are methods for the expression of the RIN and MC genes. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the RIN and MC genes by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20040006797
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are inventions in the field of plant biochemistry and genetics. More specifically polynucleotides for use in crop improvement are provided, in particular, plant polynucleotides encoding transcription factors and the polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides are disclosed. Arrays and DNA constructs comprising such polynucleotides, and polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides and methods of using the novel polynucleotides and other plant polynucleotide homologs are also disclosed. Novel plants and seeds with improved biological characteristics can be obtained by use of said polynucleotides.
