  • NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES AND POLYPEPTIDES ENCODED THEREBY USEFUL FOR INCREASING PLANT SIZE AND INCREASING THE NUMBER AND SIZE OF LEAVES
    Publication number: 20120216317
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby are described, together with the use of those products for making transgenic plants that are characterized by increased size, have an increased number and size of rosette leaves and are late-flowering.

  • SWITCHGRASS BIOLOGICAL CONTAINMENT
    Publication number: 20110283378
    Abstract: The invention relates to materials and methods useful for controlling the unwanted spread of energy crop plants. The methods involve an F1 hybrid transgenic switchgrass plant containing a transgene that affects a developmental stage such as spikelet meristem identity, establishment of floral meristem identity, or floral organ initiation, development, or function. The methods also involve one or more transcription factors that activate expression of the transgene. Such F1 hybrid plants are incapable of forming viable seeds.
