Publication number: 20140237683Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the identification and use of introns with gene expression enhancing properties. The teaching of this invention enables the identification of introns causing intron-mediated enhancement (IME) of gene expression. The invention furthermore relates to recombinant expression construct and vectors comprising said IME-introns operably linked with a promoter sequence and a nucleic acid sequence. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants and plant cells transformed with these recombinant expression constructs or vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation material derived there from, and to the use of same for the preparation of foodstuffs, animal feeds, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, to improve plant biomass, yield, or provide desirable phenotypes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: BASF Plant Science GmbHInventors: Hee-Sook Song, Christian Dammann, Marc Morra, Jeffrey A. Brown, Liqun Xing, Hongmei Jia
