  • Marker Assisted Selection for Transformation Traits in Maize
    Publication number: 20080078003
    Abstract: Methods for producing corn with increased transformability are provided. Markers for increased transformability are provided as well as their use to obtain corn plants with increased transformability. Locations on chromosomes that effect transformation efficiency of monocots are identified.
    Type: Application

  • Isolation and characterization of heat shock protein
    Publication number: 20030005487
    Abstract: This invention relates to the identification and characterization of the maize HSP22 protein including the corresponding nucleic acid molecules, nucleic acid fragments and protein fragments. Further, this invention relates to both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to HSP22 and the production thereof. These antibodies can be used in a method for detecting the presence of HSP22 expression in whole leaf samples. Further, the nucleic acid molecule and fragments thereof can be used in assays to detect the levels of nucleic acid molecules involved in HSP22 expression. The levels of both HSP22 and HSP22 mRNA are then utilized as an indication of a plant's ability to tolerate heat stress. Additionally, plants can be transformed to express increased levels of HSP22.
