Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant biochemistry. More specifically the invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from plant cells, in particular, nucleic acid sequences from maize, soybean and Arabidopsis thaliana associated with transcription factors. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins and fragments of proteins. In addition, the invention also encompasses proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding these proteins or fragments. The invention also relates to methods of using the nucleic acid molecules, proteins and fragments of proteins and antibodies, for example for genome mapping, gene identification and analysis, plant breeding, preparation of constructs for use in plant gene expression and transgenic plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences for regulating gene expression in plants. In particular, the invention relates to 5′ regulatory sequences which are useful for regulating expression of heterologous DNAs in plants and methods for identifying multiple 5′ regulatory sequences which confer a particular expression profile when operably linked to DNA sequences. The invention also relates to expression vectors containing the 5′ regulatory sequences and to transgenic plants containing the expression vectors.

Abstract: Promoters from male reproductive tissues were isolated from corn (Zea mays). These promoters can be used in plants to regulate transcription of target genes including genes for control of fertility, insect or pathogen tolerance, herbicide tolerance or any gene of interest.

Abstract: Utilizing phenotypic markers in seeds or plants to allow qualitative detection of a proprietary trait in the harvest, to allow a quantitative calculation of the amount of the trait, and to facilitate the calculation and collection of fees for the trait. The phenotypic markers of the seeds can be the seed coat color, and said seeds can be homozygous or heterozygous for the phenotypic difference of seed coat color. Commercial cultivars of seeds with the phenotypic difference of seed color may be grown to include several different seed colors. Trait fees may be assessed on all grain with the proprietary trait, whether the grain was produced from purchased seed or from seed saved from a previous harvest.

Abstract: Novel combinations of 5′, 3′ and intron genetic elements are provided for enhanced expression in transgenic plants. The elements are associated with a fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase gene, a chlorophyll a/b binding protein gene, a ubiquitin gene, a nopaline synthase gene, and/or a heat shock gene. Recombinant DNA molecules containing the non-translated 5′ and/or 3′ non-translated elements of the invention are further provided, as are plant cells, tissues and plants containing those DNA molecules.

Abstract: The methods and materials disclosed herein are directed to the control of gene expression in plants by means of translational repression. RNA-binding proteins binding specifically to operator sequences positioned in the 5′ untranslated region of an MRNA reduce translation. Such translation repression systems are useful, for example, for reducing expression of an herbicide-tolerance gene in reproductive tissues of a plant that retains vegetative tolerance. Application of the herbicide renders the plant male- or female-sterile.

Abstract: Structural genes isolated from genomic DNA of strawberry plants are disclosed. The DNA coding sequences disclosed encode genes which are highly transcribed in the ripening fruit tissue of Fragaria X ananassa. The expression of these structural genes is regulated by promoters which are also capable of directing tissue-specific expression in transgenic plants. Moreover, these structural gene coding sequences are useful for indirectly identifying tissue-specific promoters, in other plant species, by enabling the identification of the associated, structural gene coding sequences (which are analogous to the disclosed structural sequences) in those plant species.

Abstract: Promoters and genes isolated from genomic DNA of strawberry plants are disclosed. Both the promoters and genes are capable of tissue-specific expression in transgenic plants. A plant promoter that is a nucleic acid region located upstream of the 5′ end of a plant DNA structural coding sequence that is transcribed at high levels in ripening fruit tissue. This promoter region is capable of conferring high levels of transcription in ripening fruit tissue and in developing seed tissues when used as a promoter for a heterologous coding sequence in a chimeric gene. The promoter and any chimeric gene in which it may be used can be used to obtain transformed plants or plant cells. A DNA coding sequence that codes for a gene that is highly transcribed in ripening fruit tissue of Fragaria X ananassa. This coding sequence can be used to obtain a cDNA probe useful in obtaining analogous promoters from a homologous coding sequence in other plant species.
