Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for producing transgenic banana plants that exhibit increased resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4), and the banana plants and bananas so produced.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for producing transgenic plants and other organisms that exhibit increased production of mogroside compounds, in particular mogroside V, and the mogroside compounds, plants and plant parts so produced.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for increasing the level of mogrosides in plants, such as in Cucurbitaceae family plants (e.g., in watermelon), by genetically-modifying such plants to modulate the expression of endogenous mogroside pathway genes. Also disclosed herein are plants with increased levels of mogrosides, extract (e.g., sweetener) from such plants, parts (e.g., juice, seed, pulp, etc.) from such plants, and methods of producing such plants.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of nucleotide sequences in fungi. Compositions are novel nucleotide sequences for a tissue preferred promoter isolated from the Agaricus bisporus lectin gene. The sequences drive expression preferentially to fruit body tissue. A method for expressing a nucleotide sequence in fungi using the regulatory sequences disclosed herein is provided. The method comprises transforming a fungal cell to comprise a nucleotide sequence operably linked to one or more of the regulatory sequences of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed fungus from the transformed cell.
