  • Transgenic plants with enhanced agronomic traits
    Publication number: 20120227131
    Abstract: This invention provides transgenic plant cells with recombinant DNA for expression of proteins that are useful for imparting enhanced agronomic trait(s) to transgenic crop plants. This invention also provides transgenic plants and progeny seed comprising the transgenic plant cells where the plants are selected for having an enhanced trait selected from the group of traits consisting of enhanced water use efficiency, enhanced cold tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, enhanced seed protein and enhanced seed oil. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing transgenic seed and plants with enhanced traits.

  • Genes and uses for pant improvement
    Publication number: 20060041961
    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.

  • Sucrose phosphate synthase nucleic acid molecules and uses therefor
    Publication number: 20050251882
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to plant molecular biology and genetic engineering. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to isolated nucleic acids from cyanobacteria encoding sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) or SPS-like proteins, in another embodiment, the present invention relates to isolated nucleic acids from maize plants encoding sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) proteins. Each protein disclosed has utility in improving agronomic, horticultural and/or quality traits of plants, including yield.
