  • Transgenic plants with enhanced agronomic traits
    Publication number: 20090044297
    Abstract: This invention provides transgenic plant cells with recombinant DNA for expression of proteins that are useful for imparting enhanced agronomic trait(s) to transgenic crop plants. This invention also provides transgenic plants and progeny seed comprising the transgenic plant cells where the plants are selected for having an enhanced trait selected from the group of traits consisting of enhanced water use efficiency, enhanced cold tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, enhanced seed protein and enhanced seed oil.

  • Gene sequences and uses thereof in plants
    Publication number: 20030233670
    Abstract: The invention provides polynucleotides and proteins encoded by the polypeptides. The disclosed polynucleotides and polypeptides find use in production of transgenic plants to produce plants having improved properties. The invention further provides methods of producing fertile transgenic plants, preferably maize, with desirable phenotypes and progeny of any generation derived from the fertile transgenic plants.
