  • Floral Development Genews
    Publication number: 20070157341
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding floral development proteins, more specifically FT, TFL or Ap3 homologs. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant DNA construct encoding all or a portion of the floral development proteins, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the FT, TFL or Ap3 homologs in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 20, 2006
    Publication date: July 5, 2007
    Applicants: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC., E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY
    Inventors: Olga Danilevskaya, Pedro Hermon, David Shirbroun, Edward Bruggemann, Evgueni Ananiev, Theodore Klein, J. Rafalski, Hajime Sakai, Edgar Cahoon, Rebecca Cahoon
  • Polynucleotides encoding plant cysteine proteases
    Publication number: 20060141515
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a proteinase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the proteinase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the proteinase in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 16, 2005
    Publication date: June 29, 2006
    Inventors: Saverio Falco, Edgar Cahoon, Omolayo Famodu, Theodore Klein, Emil Orozco, J. Rafalski, Jennie Shen, Hajime Sakai
  • Cell cycle genes in plants
    Publication number: 20060008820
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKI). The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a substantial portion of the CDKI, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the CDKI in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 29, 2005
    Publication date: January 12, 2006

  • Plant cell cyclin genes
    Publication number: 20050148765
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a cyclin protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the cyclin protein, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the cyclin protein in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 31, 2004

  • Recombinase mediated gene traps
    Publication number: 20050144665
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying a genetically modified plant cell comprising a recombinase-mediated exchange between a first nucleotide sequence and a second nucleotide sequence. The present invention provides a method for obtaining a genetically modified plant cell wherein a functional recombination at both the 5? and 3? ends of the nucleotide can be identified.
