  • Polynucleotides Encoding Truncated Sucrose Isomerase Polypeptides for Control of Parasitic Nematodes
    Publication number: 20100064389
    Abstract: The invention provides polynucleotides encoding N-terminal truncated forms of sucrose isomerase polypeptides which are capable of conferring increased nematode resistance in a plant. The invention also provides methods of producing transgenic plants with increased nematode resistance, seeds of such transgenic plants, and expression vectors, all of which comprise the polynucleotides of the invention.

  • Nucleic acid molecules encoding proteins essential for plant growth and development and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20040191850
    Abstract: Nucleotide sequences are isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana that code for proteins essential for plant growth and development. The essentially of the proteins may be exploited by recombinantly expressing the proteins and using them in screening assays to identify compounds that interact with or inhibit the proteins and are therefore potential herbicides.
