  • Patent number: 8153861
    Abstract: A gene comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and another gene comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, the latter being artificially synthesized according to plant preferred codons. Both genes encode a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3. Also provided are recombinant vectors containing each of the genes and host cells transformed with the recombinant vectors. The host cells can be prokaryotic cells [[and]] or eukaryotic cells. The transgenic plants comprising the gene having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 show improved salt and drought tolerance after the [[said]] gene is expressed in the transgenic plants.

  • Publication number: 20110173716
    Abstract: An EPSP synthase (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase) with high glyphosate resistance and a nucleotide sequence encoding the synthase are disclosed. The gene encoding the EPSP synthase has low homology with the reported EPSP synthase. A transgenic plant obtained by the expression of the gene in plant has an increased resistance to glyphosate after experimental confirmation.

  • Publication number: 20110072538
    Abstract: The use of a lignin monomer synthetic gene 4-CL encoding 4-coumarate: CoA ligase from Populus tomentosa in increasing Sclerotinia resistance and lodging resistance. The 4-CL gene is responsible for catalyzing various cinnamic acids and their derivatives to produce respective coenzyme A esters, involved in the synthesis of various downstream secondary products, and is the key gene in the regulation of lignin synthesis. Results of the study show that, increase of lignin content improves plant's resistance against pathogenic infection, enhances the stem strength of rape, and thus significantly improves the lodging resistance. Specifically, the result shows that lignin content of transgenic rape increases more than 10% compared to lignin content of recipient control; lesion extension area of transgenic plant leaves decreases around 30% compared to recipient control; and stem strength of transgenic plant increases up to around 20% compared to control.

  • Publication number: 20080060098
    Abstract: The invention discloses maize bZIP transcriptional factors, namely, ABP2, ABP4 and ABP9, the genes encoding these factors, and the use thereof. The transcriptional factors are proteins having an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, or 6, or proteins derived therefrom by substitution, deletion or addition of one or more amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, or 6, and having the same activity as a protein shown by SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, or 6. The ABP2, ABP4 and ABP9 genes encoding these factors, respectively, are the DNA sequences having an identity of more than 90% with a sequence shown by SEQ ID NO: 1, 3 or 5 and the encoded proteins having such same functions. These genes are important for breeding plant varieties with an enhanced tolerance to abiotic stresses and for improving plant tolerance to abiotic stresses.
