  • PLASTIDIC PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE GENES
    Publication number: 20090013432
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a plastidic phosphoglucomutase protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a substantial portion of the plastidic phosphoglucomutase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the plastidic phosphoglucomutase in a transformed host cell.

  • Fructan Biosynthetic Enzymes
    Publication number: 20070294786
    Abstract: This invention relates to isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding fructosyltransferases. More specifically, this invention relates to polynucleotides encoding 1-FFTs, 6-SFTs, or 1-SSTs. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant DNA constructs encoding all or a portion of the fructosyltransferases, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the fructosyltransferases in a transformed host cell.

  • Recombinant constructs for use in reducing gene expression
    Publication number: 20060041957
    Abstract: Recombinant constructs useful for reducing the expression of at least one target nucleic acid fragment of interest and any substantially similar endogenous nucleic acid fragment of interest are disclosed. In particular, a recombinant construct comprising at least one nucleic acid of interest is inserted between two convergent promoters. A plant or plant organ stably transformed with this construct will have a reduction in expression of the target nucleic acid fragments of interest.
