Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for transformation of sorghum and the production of genetically modified sorghum. In particular, methods and means are described for the production of high quality, transformable sorghum plant cells which are maintained in culture for longer duration without losing their regenerative potential and their use for genetic transformation. The method also describes the use of improved media for efficient plant regeneration from transformed plant cells, thereby providing significant improvement in the stable transformation frequency of sorghum.

Abstract: The present invention relates, inter alia, to vegetative plant parts, such as from a Sorghum sp. and/or a Zea mays plant, which comprise a total fatty acid (TFA) content which comprises fatty acids esterified in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) and fatty acids in the form of lipids other than TAG, wherein the vegetative plant parts comprise greatly increased levels of TFA, for example a TFA content of about 5% (w/w dry weight). The present invention also relates to the use of the vegetative plant parts as a feedstuff, and/or to produce a feedstuff, for animal consumption.

Abstract: The present embodiments provide a novel DPA-producing Brassica juncea (DPA juncea) line designated as NUBJ1207. The embodiments also provide the seeds, the plants, and the plant parts (including DNA) of DPA juncea line NUBJ1207, as well as to methods for producing a Brassica plant produced by crossing DPA juncea line NUBJ1207 with itself or another Brassica line. These embodiments also provide methods for producing a DPA-producing Brassica plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes, and to the transgenic plants and plant parts produced by those methods. These embodiments further provide DPA production lines or breeding lines and plant parts derived from DPA juncea line NUBJ1207, to methods for producing canola lines or plant parts derived from line NUBJ1207, and to the DPA-producing Brassica plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods.
