    Abstract: Disclosed are new effects of increased gdhA gene expression on plants that are susceptible to Aspergillus and Fusarium virguliforme infection. Plants transformed with the gdhA gene are resistant to aflatoxin accumulation following Aspergillus infection, and to root rot following F. virguliforme infection. The resistance to aflatoxin accumulation and root rot in gdhA+ plants is coincident with drought tolerance and resistance of the plants to certain herbicides. Methods for controlling aflatoxin contamination and root rot in crop plants, and for screening plants putatively transformed with gdhA, are described.

  • Patent number: 8350123
    Abstract: The present invention provides transgenic cover crop plants which after harvest degrade the hemicellulose and cellulose therein to fermentable sugars which can further be fermented to ethanol or other products. In particular, the transgenic plants comprise cellulase, hemicellulase and optionally ligninase genes from microbes operably linked to a DNA encoding a signal peptide which targets the fusion polypeptide produced therefrom to an organelle of the plant, in particular, the chloroplasts. When the transgenic plants are harvested, the plants are ground to release the hemicellulase and cellulase which then degrade the hemicellulose and cellulose of the transgenic plants to produce the fermentable sugars.

  • Patent number: 8293971
    Abstract: Methods and constructs for the introduction of multiple genes into plants using a single transformation event are described. Constructs contain a single 5? promoter operably linked to DNA encoding a modified intein splicing unit. The splicing unit is expressed as a polyprotein and consists of a first protein fused to an intein fused to a second protein. The splicing unit has been engineered to promote excision of all nonessential components in the polyprotein but prevent the ligation reactions normally associated with protein splicing. A single 3? termination sequence, such as a polyadenylation sequence when the construct is to be expressed in eucaryotic cells, follows the last coding sequence. These methods and constructs are particularly useful for creating plants with stacked input traits, illustrated by glyphosate tolerant plants producing BT toxin, and/or value added products, illustrated by the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates in plants.
