Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition for altering the levels of seed proteins in cereal grain. The invention is directed to the alteration of seed protein levels in plant grain, resulting in grain with increased digestibility/nutrient availability, improved amino acid composition/nutritional value, increased response to feed processing, improved silage quality, and increased efficiency of wet or dry-milling. The composition provided comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a maize 18 kD alpha-globulin cDNA as well as expression cassettes comprising nucleotide sequences of the invention. Also provided are transformed plant tissue including plants, cells and seeds thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides isolated auxin-responsive transcriptional regulatory elements and polynucleotides associated therewith. The present invention provides methods and compositions related to altering gene expression in plants. The invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, and transgenic plants.

Abstract: A soybean variety designated 90B73, the plants and seeds of soybean variety 90B73, methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing the variety 90B73 with itself or with another soybean plant, and hybrid soybean seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety 90B73 with another soybean line or plant, and the creation of variants by mutagenesis or transformation of variety 90B73. This invention also relates to methods for producing other soybean varieties or breeding lines derived from soybean variety 90B73 and to soybean varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods.

Abstract: An inbred maize line, designated PHAP1, the plants and seeds of inbred maize line PHAP1, methods for producing a maize plant produced by crossing the inbred line PHAP1 with itself or with another maize plant, and hybrid maize seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PHAP1 with another maize line or plant.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a hybrid corn plant, designated as 3531, produced by crossing two Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. proprietary inbred corn lines. This invention thus relates to the hybrid seed 3531, the hybrid plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and trivial modifications of hybrid 3531. 3531 is characterized by its high yielding and solid agronomics. 3531 has above average yield across all yield environments and responds to high planting rates.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided an inbred corn line, designated PHW06. This invention thus relates to the plants and seeds of inbred corn line PHW06 and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing the inbred line PHW06 with itself or with another corn plant. This invention further relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PHW06 with another corn line or plant and to crosses with related species.

Abstract: Sunflower seed, plants and oil are described which have a total level of saturated fatty acids equal to 6% or less relative to the total fatty acid content, a total level of stearic acid less than 1% of the total fatty acid content, and a total level of palmitic acid less than 3% of the total fatty acid content.
