  • Polynucleotides and polypeptides in plants
    Patent number: 7345217
    Abstract: The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties compared to a reference plant. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods and is also disclosed.

  • Plant gene sequences II
    Publication number: 20030229915
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modifying a trait of a plant. Isolated polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences are provided, along with an expression vector comprising the isolated polynucleotide, a host cell comprising the isolated polynucleotide, and a transgenic plant comprising the isolated polynucleotide. Also provided is a method for producing a transgenic plant, a method for screening for a compound that may modify the trait and a method for identifying other homologous polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences.
