    Abstract: A method for producing plants of the Brassicaceae family that have reduced feeding by cruciferous insects is disclosed. The method comprises selecting for the heritable trait of altered total non-seed glucosinolate levels or for the heritable trait of increased myrosinase activity. Selection may be performed on Brassicaceae cultivars, mutagenized populations or wild populations, including the species Brassica napus, B. campestris and Arabidopsis thaliana. Plants having such altered levels show reduced feeding by cruciferous insects, including flea beetle, diamond back moth and cabbage butterfly. Plants selected for altered levels of both glucosinolates and myrosinase also show reduced feeding by cruciferous insects.

    Abstract: Plant development can be altered by transforming a plant with a genetic construct that includes regulatory elements and DNA sequences capable of acting in a fashion to inhibit pollen formation or function, thus rendering the transformed plant reversibly male-sterile. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of dominant negative genes and an anther-specific promoter. Male sterility is reversed by incorporation into a plant of a second genetic construct which represses the dominant negative gene. The invention also relates to novel DNA sequences which exhibit the ability to serve as anther-specific promoters in plants.

  • Patent number: 5759829
    Abstract: Regulation of expression of genes encoded for in plant cell genomes is achieved by integration of a gene under the transcriptional control of a promoter which is functional in the host and in which the transcribed strand of DNA is complementary to the strand of DNA that is transcribed from the endogenous gene(s) one wishes to regulate. The integrated gene, referred to as antisense, provides an RNA sequence capable of binding to naturally existing RNAs, exemplified by polygalacturonase, and inhibiting their expression, where the anti-sense sequence may bind to the coding, non-coding, or both, portions of the RNA. The antisense construction may be introduced into the plant cells in a variety of ways and be integrated into the plant genome for inducible or constitutive transcription of the antisense sequence. A wide variety of plant cell properties may be modified by employing this technique.

  • Patent number: 5750868
    Abstract: Plant development can be altered by transforming a plant with a genetic construct that includes regulatory elements and structural genes capable of acting in a cascading fashion to produce a reversible effect on a plant phenotype. A first genetic construct comprising (i) an operator that is capable of controlling expression of a dominant negative gene, (ii) a dominant negative gene that, when expressed in a plant disrupts pollen formation or function, (iii) a tissue specific promoter that regulates the expression of a gene encoding a DNA-binding protein which binds to the operator and activates transcription, and (iv) a gene encoding a DNA binding region and an activating domain, causes male sterility in a plant. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a DAM-methylase gene as a dominant negative gene and an anther-specific promoter. Male sterility is reversed by incorporation into a plant of a second genetic construct which represses the dominant negative gene.
