  • Transcription factors of cereals
    Publication number: 20070089180
    Abstract: Plant DISR genes the expression of which in a plant increases resistance of the plant to pathogen infection, compositions comprising the genes or encoded polypeptides, and methods for their use, are provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 21, 2002
    Publication date: April 19, 2007
    Inventors: Jane Glazebrook, Steven Briggs, Bret Cooper, Stephen Goff, Todd Moughamer, Fumiaki Katagiri, Joel Kreps, Nicolas Provart, Darrell Ricke, Tong Zhu
  • Transcription factors of cereals
    Publication number: 20050235375
    Abstract: Polynucleotides encoding transcription factors of cereals and in particular rice are provided. Also provided are re-combinant vectors, expression cassettes, host cells and plants containing the polynucleotides. Methods for using the polynucleotides to alter resistance or tolerance of plants to stress, alter biological pathways, and alter gene expression are also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 21, 2002
    Publication date: October 20, 2005
    Inventors: Wenqiong Chen, Steven Briggs, Bret Cooper, Jane Glazebrook, Stephen Goff, Fumiaki Katagiri, Joel Kreps, Todd Moughamer, Nicolas Provart, Darrell Ricke, Tong Zhu
  • Identification and characterization of plant genes
    Publication number: 20050177901
    Abstract: The invention discloses a set of genes the expression products of which are up-regulated during the grain filling process in rice and active in different metabolic pathways involved in nutrient partitioning. The invention also discloses the use of said genes to modify the compositional and nutritional characteristics of the plant grain.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 21, 2002
    Publication date: August 11, 2005
    Inventors: Tong Zhu, Wengiong Chen, Steven Briggs, Bret Cooper, Stephen Goff, Todd Moughamer, Jane GlazeBrook, Fumiaki Katagiri, Joel Kreps, Nicolas Provart, Darrell Ricke
  • Identification and characterization of phosphate transporter genes
    Publication number: 20050032156
    Abstract: The invention relates to proteins that are involved in the transport and translocation of phosphorous in plants and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those proteins. The invention further provides the means and tools for modifying the uptake and translocation of phosphorous in photosynthetic organisms such as plants.
