Abstract: The invention relates to a polypeptide for the enzymatic detoxification of zearalenone, said polypeptide being a monooxygenase which converts the keto group in position 7 of zearalenone into an ester group, the monooxygenase in particular being an amino acid sequence selected from the group comprising sequence ID No. 1, 2 and 3 or a functional variant thereof. The functional variant and at least one of the amino acid sequences has a sequence identity of at least 60%, preferably at least 70%, more preferably at least 80% and most preferably 90%.

Abstract: The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated CCP nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel cell cycle associated polypeptides. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing CCP nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and transgenic plants in which a CCP gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated CCP proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-CCP antibodies. Agricultural, diagnostic, screening, and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of molecular biology. The invention provides a method for modulating growth of a plant comprising introducing into a plant a CCP (cell cycle protein) modulator. Further provided are nucleic acid molecules and the polypeptides encoded thereof useful as modulating agents for performing such methods.
