Abstract: Provided herein are compositions with enhanced protein content, compositions with functional proteins, protein combinations and methods for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides novel polypeptides having phospholipase activity, including, e.g., phospholipase A, B, C and D activity, patatin activity, phosphatidic acid phosphatases (PAP)) and/or lipid acyl hydrolase (LAH) activity, nucleic acids encoding them and antibodies that bind to them. Industrial methods, e.g., oil degumming, and products comprising use of these phospholipases are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides promoters from plants capable of driving gene expression in plant cells. The promoters vary in strength and in tissue specificity, and can be used to facilitate the development of transgenic plants in which tissue preferred expression, constitutive expression, and the strength of transgene expression is either more or less critical.

Abstract: Clusters of plant genes that are regulated in response to one or more stress conditions are provided, as are isolated plant stress-regulated genes, including portions thereof comprising a coding sequence or a regulatory element, and to consensus sequences comprising a plant stress-regulated regulatory element. In addition, a recombinant polynucleotide, which includes a plant stress-regulated gene, or functional portion thereof, operatively linked to a heterologous nucleotide sequence, is provided, as are transgenic plants, which contain a plant stress-regulated gene or functional portion thereof that was introduced into a progenitor cell of the plant. Also provided are methods of using a plant stress-regulated gene to confer upon a plant a selective advantage to a stress condition, methods of identifying an agent that modulates the activity of a plant stress-regulated regulatory element, and methods of determining whether a plant has been exposed to a stress.

Abstract: Abiotic stress responsive polynucleotides and polypeptides are disclosed. Also disclosed are vectors, expression cassettes, host cells, and plants containing such polynucleotides. Also provided are methods for using such polynucleotides and polypeptides, for example, to alter the responsiveness of a plant to abiotic stress.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a method for enhancing the abiotic stress tolerance of a plant. Polynucleotides isolated from rice (Oryza sativa) and encoding polypeptides for abiotic stress tolerance are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of producing plants with increased resistance to pathogen infection by expressing disease resistance genes in the plants and transgenic plants having enhanced pathogen resistance.

Abstract: An isolated polynucleotide encoding a full-length rice cap binding protein 80 (CBP80) is provided. The reduction in expression or activity of CBP80 in a transgenic rice plant cell may be accomplished by antisense sequences which can inhibit expression or activity of endogenous CBP80 in a rice plant cell which may lead to alterations in hormone signaling.
