  • Nucleic Acids Encoding Anthelmintic Agents And Plants Made Therefrom
    Publication number: 20070169222
    Abstract: The present invention provides DNA constructs, transgenic plants containing such constructs, and methods of making the plants. The DNA constructs encode a polypeptide that when expressed results in the production of fatty acid compounds having anthelmintic activity. Transgenic plants expressing such a polypeptide can exhibit enhanced resistance to plant parasitic nematodes, particularly when expressed in vegetative tissues. Transgenic plants expressing such a polypeptide can also be useful for non-pesticidal industrial uses.

  • Nematode MDH-like sequences
    Publication number: 20040237126
    Abstract: Disclosed are two nucleic acid molecules from M. incognita encoding malate dehydrogenase-like (MDH-like) polypeptides. The MDH-like polypeptide sequences are also provided, as are vectors, host cells, and recombinant methods for production of MDH-like nucleotides and polypeptides. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying inhibitors and/or activators, as well as methods for antibody production.
