  • Transgenic plants with enhanced agronomic traits
    Publication number: 20160264980
    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 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.

  • DMO METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20090081760
    Abstract: The invention provides for identification and use of crystal structures of Dicamba monooxygenase (DMO) that may be complexed with iron or cobalt cofactor and substrate (dicamba), or product (DCSA) in order to define residues important for enzymatic structure and function. Methods of using such structures are described. Data storage media comprising the crystal structural coordinate information are also described.
