  • Genes and uses for plant improvement
    Publication number: 20140325710
    Abstract: Transgenic seed for crops with improved traits are provided by trait-improving recombinant DNA where plants grown from such transgenic seed exhibit one or more improved traits as compared to a control plant. Of particular interest are transgenic plants that have increased yield. The present invention also provides recombinant DNA molecules for expression of a protein, and recombinant DNA molecules for expression of mRNA complementary to at least a portion of an mRNA native to the target plant for use in gene suppression to suppress the expression of a protein.

  • Tocopherol biosynthesis related genes and uses thereof
    Patent number: 7230165
    Abstract: The present invention relates to genes associated with the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway. More particularly, the present invention provides and includes nucleic acid molecules and proteins associated with genes that encode polypeptides associated with the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway. The present invention also provides methods for utilizing such agents, for example in gene isolation, gene analysis, and the production of transgenic plants. Moreover, the present invention includes transgenic plants modified to express the aforementioned polypeptides. In addition, the present invention includes methods for the production of products from the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway as well as in production of plants that are drought resistant.
